Try running a selftest on the drive: smartctl -t short /dev/hdx. Then display the results wit: h smartctl -a /dev/hdx
Is this test non-destructive in the event of a problem? Can it be done when the disk is being used? The man page implies the 'short' test can be done during normal operation. Anyone done that and lived to tell?
Certainly - I run a short test every day, and a long test on Sundays. /Per -- /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
