My MythTV box is scheduled to go into the shop on Monday because of an intermittent freeze. The symptom is that infrequently (once every two weeks or so, but not regularly) I'll either turn on the TV and get no response to a keyboard even though my wallpaper is there, or I'll try to look at a MythWeb page from another machine but won't be able to connect, or (this happened only once during one of the NFL games last Sunday) the system will freeze during a show. Recovery requires a power cycle. Attempts to SSH into the machine fail due to SSH being unable to find it.
Before I take it in to the hardware gurus I want to be sure I've run appropriate tests. I ran memtest with no errors. What disk test should I run that will be a non-destructive test? And, when I run it, do I need to have the backend and MySQL shut down? Are there any other tests I can run to try to narrow down the problem? Thanks. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
