Hi,

I'm getting following errors sometime in my Logwatch mails :

Can someone explain me what is happening and how to solve this.
Keep in mind that I am a Linux newbie and still in the learning proces.

Thanks in advance


Peter

turn DMA off for that drive, there are also other kernel options you can use.

If this is an old disk it doesnt support some of the options the kernel is passing to it.
