Log shows "disk0s2: I/O error"
I have been having some trouble, specifically related to iTunes 8 (see my other posts). Digging around my log, I've noticed the following message appear every time (and several times) during artwork-related freezes. "kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error."
I'm quite new to OSX and its log, but to me this sounds like a severe hardware error. I've not found many other referrals to this error code using Google and searching this site. Is this a Hard Drive failure waiting to happen or is there hope that this is a 10.5.5/iTunes 8.0.x problem? I've especially noticed the freezing errors since either of the two, a reinstall hasn't helped much. It's only now that I've examined my logs, but as the symptoms are the same, I assume it was this I/O error all along.
I hope someone can enlighten me, and hopefully reassure me.
Best regards,
