Not really a stress test but if you have smartmontools installed you can see if your drives have logged any errors that could indicate they are about to die. Use the smartctl command on each of you drives to see if any errors were logged. smartctl -h gives some good usage examples but smartctl -a should be a good start and you can use smartctl -t to run the drives built in test. Good luck. ~Scott _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
