If no one here has any ideas on this thing, it has to be serious. I'm thinking it is a upstream thing because someone on this list would know it if was something on my end. ;-) @Peter, link helped me understand a bit but still can't figure out my problem. The extra info was good tho. Dale :-) :-) P. S. On the SMR drive thing, I came up with a plan. After I finish my backups, I leave it on for a bit mounted, then unmount and leave it on a little while longer before powering it off. That way I know it has finished doing what it needs to. Plus it gives the SMART stuff time to do a little work too.
