I read a post before about hard drives conking out if always mounted but
not used at all. Is this true? What is the possible cause for this? I
do not know if its just coincidence but my former hard disk which I
replaced with a new one but left installed anyway conked out after a few
months. The old drive had an entry in fstab (automount) so it was always
mounted whenever I boot up. But I hardly access the disk since the new
drive was large. The old one just had my old files. So did that killed
my hard disk? If so, its a lesson learned the hard way. =)
