has anybody used this?

I too get disk errors when booting:


VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Journalled Block Device driver loaded
kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 156k freed
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
hda: dma_intr: status=0x53 { DriveReady SeekComplete Index Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
ide0: reset: success

but things seem to work fine after the initial boot. I have not run the deep test with smarttools yet.

Am I a disaster waiting to happen?

Is there any way to do disk diagnostics in linux? It seems that the disk is checked during install and I should be able to do whatever the installer does from the command line.

Thanks,
Mike
