Having just live through this issue, I recommend you run the extended (long) SMART test on all your drives and check the reports. The relevant package to install is smartmontools. It's worth investing a little time in setting up the package. I ended up with this incantation in /etc/smartd.conf : /dev/hda -T normal -p -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03) -m root@localhost To execute the extended tests (doesn't mess with your data): # smartctl --test=long /dev/hda To view the test results about 80 minutes later: # smartctl --log=selftest /dev/hda and so on. -- Charles Polisher _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
