Hi Community,

Myself Tristan Leroy, Syslog is reporting an issue with one of the disks, I asked the isp to change the cable but still getting the same errors:

It appears your disk is on the way out. Run smartctl -a /dev/sda (or whatever the disk device is called) and post the output so we can see it.

If it is on its way out then this would be an ideal time to migrate to a supported operating system. CentOS 6 has been dead for more than 6 months and there will be no more security patches for it. You need to get off and onto something that gets patches ASAP.

I was experiencing the same issue and my disk is on the way out too. But I did not know that CentOS 6 has been dead. Thank you for the information. Cheers
