Start with smartmontools to ask your disk if it has logged any errors
and check once a day or so to see if sectors are being remapped.
Thanks for the tip.
So I ran the "short" test, and am now running the "long" test. After
the short test, I have been examining the output (using smartctl -a),
and there seem to be no errors reports.
I just noticed, however, the following two interesting lines that
/var/log/messages seems to have acquired:
May 12 15:44:00 qemg kernel: ad8: FAILURE - SMART status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR>
error=4<ABORTED>
May 12 16:05:27 qemg kernel: swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer:
bufobj: 0, blkno: 294, size: 8192
The first dates from the point at which I turned on SMART data logging.
The second one, however looks more interesting to me -- am I correct
in thinking that there is no good reason why the "swap_pager" error
would appear, aside from some sort of hardware related failure?
Thanks,
Andrew.
