mountain lion io errors not logged? #23313 09/05/12 06:27 PM

I used to be able to go into console and check in the System log and it would show any of the "disk0s2 io error" messages indicating a failing hard drive. (usually someone brings in a computer that frequently pinwheels, and has a failing hdd) But I'm not seeing these messages in console under 10.7 or 10.8. Known issue? Somewhere else to look?

(Edit: this message is a reply to joemikeb's, not virtual1's.) Last edited by ganbustein; 09/06/12 10:21 PM. Reason: Clarify what "But ..." refers to.
