I ran hdparm -Tt /dev/hd* back to back using the && thing and it locked up after about the third or forth run. It would not respond any more either. I have had to pull the plug, even the power switch wouldn't work. I would push it and hold it for 10 seconds or so and it would still be locked up. Just to make sure, for primary master:
hdparm -Tt /dev/hda && hdparm -Tt /dev/hda && hdparm -Tt /dev/hda && hdparm -Tt /dev/hda && hdparm -Tt /dev/hda That's the idea. It works the hard drive pretty good. Just a thought. Dale :-) -- To err is human, I'm most certainly human. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
