This thread has been very timely. After reading the posts about the proper usage of smartmontools, I discovered that my laptop at work is about to fail on me. That explains the funny noises and other symptoms I have been seeing lately. I am backing up my files right now.
Thanks again to the group for the tips. It's always good advice. The only variable is whether or not I am tuned in and ready to learn the topics. :-) Alan . -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
