I hear that ticking sound a lot, I knew before (when I was using linux) that this is the hard disk sound I think the Load_Cycle_Count is increasing so rapidly, so I wanted to know the Load_Cycle_Count I compiled smartmontools but could not use it because it either says ?no such file or directory? or just freeze and I cannot stop or kill the process from the gnome-system-monitor or using Ctrl-c
I actually do not understand what are all these files in /dev/rdsk I do not know which file I should pass to smartctl so here is my situation exactly: - How could I know the Load_Cycle_Count using any tool - If I will use smartctl then what is the command that I should type - How could I stop it from increasing so rapidly ([b]most important[/b]) - I may sound like an idiot, but I am not sure that my hard disk is SATA, is there some way to know that? please anybody help me, it is ticking so fast, I beginning to think about wiping the whole system and getting back to Ubuntu -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
