Hi Ben, why you say that the hd is failing? Smartctl doesn't agree with you: > proDFS:~# smartctl -H /dev/hda > smartctl version 5.38 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-8 Bruce Allen > Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ > > === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === > SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED
Perhaps you have reason but I would like to know how you can affirm that. Furthermore I can't understand why if I set dma (hdparm -d1 /dev/hda) on, the dma is on even after a reboot; and why if I shut down the pc when I power up again the dma is off again... your conclusion is the hd is failing? Any way thank you very much Piviul
