Re: [Trisquel-users] Fix ntfs formatted disc in trisquel

Try checking the S.M.A.R.T. status with smartctl -H /dev/sda but if a disk is  
developing bad sectors I no longer trust it and immediately begin moving data  
to somewhere else.

"I think my fan is broken could that have damaged the disk?"
Heat could have. The S.M.A.R.T. results should talk about heat if that's been  
an issue.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.#Known_ATA_S.M.A.R.T._attributes  
for info on what various things mean especially the ones colored pink.
