Jennifer,

I didn't read your post carefully. You definitely will want to boot in single user mode and run fsck -p

Re: HOWTO: Move FreeBSD to a new hard disk

Hi, Jason

I run fsck -p, it still show that some bad block can not be read.
So I suspect it is hard drive problem. Since the hard drives are still under warranty time. So I took the IDE HDD to the supplier. Their technican used a special software, something like Maxtor Blast, (which is provided by the HDD manufacturer of Seagate or Maxtor to test the HDD problem). And their technican said the test show no problem on the HDD.
So, I am just wondering when the fsck show the bad block error, does that mean hardware problem of HDD or just corrupted data, or either?

Best regards,
jennifer
