[Clonezilla-live] Clonezilla not working or HD failure?

[Uriel A. <ams...@ya...>]

I'm trying to backup a system over Samba. It's a linux box using ext3
I've tried it several times and each time it gets to about 8% done, I
start getting errors like this:

hda: possible failed opcode: 0xc8
dma_instr: status=0x41 { DriveReady Error }
hda: task_pio_intr: status=0x49 { DriveReady DataRequest Error }
io_all: errno = Input/output error(5)

I checked the hard drive with fsck and it's fine. I hasn't given my any
trouble either. Ideas?

Thanks

OK thanks. But what's "smart utilities"? Is that part of clonezilla? or
do I get that somewhere else? A quick google search didn't turn
anything up...

Uriel, I think Bob Coffman was referring to S.M.A.R.T. (which stands for
"Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology") hard drive utilities.
Google for the terms

	S.M.A.R.T. hard drive Linux utilities

and you will find a bunch of stuff. Not sure which, if any of them, are on
the Clonezilla distro.

If you only have a few bad blocks, you can rescan your drive and rebuild
it with a new bad block list. But if you have bad blocks, you seriously
want to think about replacing your hard drive.

HTH,

Basically this kind of error message means that your hard drive has 
hardware problem.... Like bad blocks... I have put a Q&A here:
http://drbl.sourceforge.net/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/83_rescue_mode_for_clonezilla.faq#83_rescue_mode_for_clonezilla.faq
Please refer to that.

Good luck!

Bad blocks?? Going a little off topic here, does that mean that I have to get a new hard drive? Or is there a fix?

That was my guess only, basically from the experience I have.  I think 
it's very likely... But it does not mean it must (100%) have bad blocks.
Anyway, it's recommended to get a new hard drive.
