Use package smartmontools and run smartctl -s on -a /dev/hda to get information on the disk's internal selftest status. Run disk selftests with smartctl -t short /dev/hda and smartctl -t long /dev/hda. If either stops with a block error the disk is dead. If the number of reallocated sectors is very high, say
100: disk dead. If it keeps increasing: disk dieing fast.
As you had a few of these disk read errors now, chances of the disk not being *&@*#$(ed are very small.
I am running ide-smart regularly from a cron job and never had any disk problem reported. Today I have installed smartmontools and run the smartctl tests on the disk, which passed them without any problem. Thanks, Andreas Philipp
