Is there any tool available in Debian which can tell the remaining life of a hard drive? Also, what log files should one monitor to see if there is something wrong with the hard drive? What are the various error messages I should look out for?
I checked the hard drive for badblocks and there are none. But somehow I feel (cannot prove) that it is taking up a lot of time to write large files than it did before. That is why I think the hard drive could be dying. raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
