You can download a test utility from the (Formely iBM) Hitchi Global Storage site. I t works on all the SMART compatible drives (pretty much all the drives sold in the last year or 2) that I;ve tried it on. I did have one drive that FreebSD was complaining about that repeatedly passed the tests from this, but I finally got it to show errorson teh excersiser in it. SMART monitoring tools are a HUGE help, but AFAIK only supported in 5.x for FreeBSD. -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I believe Seagate has an utility you can use to check a drive. Also if the drive was bought in the last couple of years and your motherboard supports SMART monitoring I believe there is a port that can interface to the SMART interface in your hardware. >From my experience if your system supports SMART and you have it enabled upon bootup you would receive a notice if your HD is having serious problems. To check if your system has SMART monitoring check your BIOS. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

hard drive test
i just installed 4.9-rel. after having the system on for about two hours I got a console message that device ad0 had timed out. then the system froze. after a reboot (power off then on) the systems has been working fine. The HD is standard seagate barracuda ATA drive (30 gig). I am using an ata100 cable. now I'm nervous. don't know why the drive would have had the error. Are there any freebsd utils that I can use to test the drive? -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax:480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing" ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
