to diagnose a hard disk problem do
dd if=/dev/rhdisk(x) of=/dev/null bs=2048k ; echo $?
If you get anything other than 1 as your return code, you have a disk going
bad. Also choose a suitable block size for the size of your hard drive.

Subject: Hard drive problem?
Our DBA deleted all the files in a file system, but it
still shows 42% full. FSCK shows errors:
/dev/hd16 (/u06): Bad Inode Map (NOT SALVAGED)
/dev/hd16 (/u06): Bad Block Map (NOT SALVAGED)
/dev/hd16 (/u06): Filesystem integrity is not
guaranteed
/dev/hd16 (/u06): 10 files 131768 blocks 4062536 free
There are 3 file systems on the disk, two of which
have the errors shown above, one does not. Do I have
a bad disk, or is this a file system problem? TIA.
