Is there any way I could test my HD to detect/prevent failure ?
install smartmontools from ports
then: smarctl -t long /dev/ad4
after a couple hours check status: smartctl -a /dev/ad4
Western Digital harddisks are notoriously unreliable (I just had 2
WD5000YS fail recently, at about the same time; one had ~200 hrs on it,
the other ~1700h), especially the YS models. Also, WDC won't replace
them... Beware.
