in a box in which I use the fromhd stanza using a disk which smartclt reports as being fine the results before and after suspending are the same ~ this is what the dying disk reports ~ $ date; X=`(time fdisk -l) 2>&1 | grep real`; echo $X Fri Sep 28 10:52:58 UTC 2012 real 0m0.191s $ date; X=`(time fdisk -l) 2>&1 | grep real`; echo $X Fri Sep 28 10:52:59 UTC 2012 real 0m0.055s $ date; X=`(time fdisk -l) 2>&1 | grep real`; echo $X Fri Sep 28 10:53:00 UTC 2012 real 0m0.052s ~ it then stabilize around 0.050s ~ For the good ones time consistently reports 0.003s ~ the thing is (for more than one reason) I use a crappy box to go online ~ Also, any comprehensive documentation regarding hd's health? smartctl's is OK to get by, but you are telling me about logs I don't know about and I would like to know more about the physics of it ~ lbrtchx
