Ummm..... maybe... I think on that system I had disabled disckcheckd, but it's
an excellent suggestion for me to check.
With respect to diskcheckd, which in general is a neat tool to have around, I
think it might be better if it did:
open
seek
read
close
rather than leaving a disk open anyway. The difference between problems with
an open as opposed to problems with a read are worth noting anyway.
