And that's what it does say. So far so good...

...but then each time I run idacontrol I get this in /var/log/messages:

Nov 21 17:01:30 mail kernel: ida0: soft error
Nov 21 17:01:36 mail last message repeated 59 times

Does this mean the controller is OK and the disks are dying? Or is it
expected behavior with idacontrol? Or something else?

thanks
