Block #94472 (129248) Feb 13 16:26:22 solomon unix: dks0d1s1: Swap out failed blkno 0x17108 (page still in memory) Feb 14 10:46:23 solomon unix: dks0d1s0 (/): Media error: No addr mark found in ID field. Block #3735 (5805) Feb 14 10:46:23 solomon unix: dks0d1s0 (/): Write error. Filesystem on device is corrupted: unmount and check it. I ran standalone, fx (read-only) excersize,sequential did not find any errors have not had any more errors.... (fingers crossed?) Is there more I should do?
