boot optimizing the file system mount MYSTERY
Authored by: johnsawyercjs on Sep 04, '05 03:37:06PM

With very slow disk reads, it's also worth checking for bad blocks on the hard drive--I see a fair number of those on my client's hard drives. If a drive has bad blocks, sometimes they can be "fixed" by formatting the drive with Disk Utility's option to zero all data, but at least half the time, the bad blocks return, so it's better to just replace the drive.
