- More optical disk problems, this time with fx.
-
-
- Can anyone help me with some problems I'm having with my optical disk
- and fx. Below is a session where I am exercising the disk in extended mode.
- During the first exercise fx just hangs. I retry I again and even though
- there are apparently some errors during the exercise, fx errlog reports none
- and there are no new bad blocks found.
-
- Sorry if this is just something basic about fx that I just don't understand.
- One thing I do know ... I'm confused.
-
- This is a 4D35 running 4.0.1 and a MaxOptix Tahati II /w Ten X OCU
-
- Thanks for any help you can give.
-
- Steve.
