Hi all,

can anybody help me with the following ?

I'm running Alpha Server 400 with DU 4.0d + patch-kit #3

  - today I experienced "I/O Errors" in one of the two swap-files. So I
went to single-user mode and tried

scu -f /dev/rrz0b
> verify media

after about half of the verification the process frozens the whole
machine. The only way is to reset it.

The same behavior in multi-user with the partition unmounted

Is there any other posibility to check for bad blocks or other way of
"reviving" the partition ?




Thanks forwards for any help.
