I have an external 1 TB harddisk e-sata attached used for backups. The problem
is that I have few times lost connection to it. I have taken up the habit of
suspending (to RAM) when I leave the machine for a while and the problem seems
to happen when I reactivate the system though not every time. After a power
cycle the disk attaches correctly again. There is no trace of the problem in the
various logs so I am tempted to believe that it is caused by the suspend process
rather than a disk failure but since it is my backup device I would like to be
sure.
System: Fedora 16 with xfce 4.10
Kernel: 3.4.6-1.fc16.x86_64
Question: How can I run diagnose on the disk to see if it is about to fail
permanently?
