I was quite surprised to learn this morning that dirvish did not run because the drive could not be found. It turns out that it stopped running after I turned it on when I logged out last evening.
The drive is about 11 months old and lived in an external enclosure connected by a USB cable that provided power and data. I would turn off the drive each morning and turn it back on each evening. Could this have contributed to its failure? I'll need to dig out the invoice and see if it's still under warranty, then set up a replacement drive. Because I've had almost all the hard drives last for years I'm surprised this one went so quickly. Have other dirvish users experienced early backup drive failures?
