I take it you had a grep piped in there between dmesg and wc? Otherwise you're simply counting the lines in dmesg's output. And the drive you are having problems with is a SCSI drive, or USB/Firewire connected drive? If not then this error would not relate to that drive. As for the cause, nice to know that Linux will do that on a failing drive. Jacques B.
