Yeah that one tops my list of "strange error messages in console".
My watchdrives script was coughing up what looked like io errors. I went looking in console to find
11/24/13 12:08:31 AM kernel disk9: alignment error.
It was only present in "All Messages" log. (I typically see "disk1 i/o error" type messages in System Log)
Not much chatter about this odd message. Here's one thread:
http://community.wd.com/t5/External-Driv...log/td-p/202584So, anyone heard of this before? My backup scripts have been causing rsync to cough up "read error detected, file deletion cancelled" errors periodically on this drive. So I assume it's the real deal and have a failing hdd. I just haven't seen
this particular error ever before.
