Folks,
I had two crashes, on two different days, with the same reason: a dying
hard drive. Definitively, it is really unpleasant to get caught with my
pants down.
There is a way to test hard drives for possible failures or foresee
those errors?
The SMART thing isn't that smart at all. Even after the server crashed
twice due faulty harddrive, SMART keeps teeling me everything is OK.
This is a SEAGATE SATA, only 1 year old. I'd expect a longer life of those
drives. Am I wrong?
