If the drive is SMART capable, it might be an idea to install smartmontools, enable monitoring on the drive and see if the temp. is fluctuating beforehand. You should find lots of info in /var/log/messages..
They are and I do not get any messages there only the one above. That is why this is so frustrating.
Thanks,

Just to see if smart can do useful things will it. Cheers Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
