You can try using smartctl to check the status of the drive(s) in question (e.g. "smartctl -H /dev/sda", though this is just a real quick check - check the man page for all options) . There is (IIRC) also a monitoring daemon that can be set up ... though I've never used it, and don't recall the name. -Dan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
