This package gives you the ability to access the S.M.A.R.T. functionality of your drives. Of course, your drives need to include S.M.A.R.T. capability and be enabled. After installing you can check to see if your drives support it by using the smartctl command. This is also the command that will use to run tests and check the results.

What does this mean? I've read other threads (Drives Dieing) about possibly shutting down dma or reinstalling the system, but is that the best solution to this kind of problem? Backup, backup, backup ;-) You'll need a Real Expert(tm) to help on the ILLEGAL_LENGTH error, but I've seen UNCORRECTABLE plenty. Keep in mind that it may cost some time and energy to find out; apart from a bad disk, could be a bad disk *controller*. I bought two new HDD's recently because of similar problems, but all of them are now working fine on a new motherboard :-/ Sorry no help here :-/ Kevin Kinsey -- Recursion: n.
