Imminent disk failure on /dev/sdd3?

[Hans-Peter Nilsson <hp@bitrange.com>]

If you look at the indexing log at
~htdigid/gcc/update-log.2000-07-27-fail, you see this line:

cp: db.wordlist: Input/output error

and the update is aborted (gracefully).

I don't know about you, but to me that's the sign of a disk that needs to
be replaced.

I think I've ruled out my previous changes from failure causes, and it's 
not a disk full error (BTW, there was "lots" of disk left).  I manually
re-started indexing, which succeeded, despite running in parallell with
the sourceware update (which was also successful).

It's logical to see a beginning disk error with that copy; it's a 400M
file; the ht://Dig partition gets plenty of exersise.  (And it's not
really needed; I *think* it could be a "mv" just as well).
