Hi!
I have never dealt with DEC systems before, so please bear with me.
One of the users' machine (An Alpha with Digital Unix 3.0, I think) froze with
the messages:
cdisk-check-sense
Medium error bad block number: 3544722
Hard error detected
DEC R228M (c) DEC RZ 28M
active CCB at time of error
CCB request completed with an error
Medium error - Non-recoverable meduim error
Reboot hung.
The disk contains the /home partition, so he tried to boot in single user
mode to comment this out in /etc/fstab. It said this file was read-only, and
it would not let him change it. Same thing when he tried booting from CDROM.
Could someone tell me what's going on, and how to fix it?
I WILL summarize.
Thanks much,
Rasana
