I have to ask, even though I know the probable answer: I am getting the following log messages on a machine running 11.0. The disk is a IDE disk. Could there be any software issues that cause this message to be given when it should not? Could I have something configured wrong? Or should I trust that a disk is becoming an ex-disk?

Is there a command that could provide more information on what is going on? Thanks for any help. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
