Have you looked at the SMART reports? Please paste the following command

What package would this be in?
apt-file search smartctl
shows this is in package smartmontools (in Jessie, I assume same in
other flavours)
Also it is installed in /usr/sbin which a non-root user doesn't usually
have on their path, which implies it may have to be executed as root.
The # in the sample command line also implies that, but just in case it
wasn't obvious...

I had been trying as root (see above). I do not have smartmontools
currently installed. If I remember correctly, that is only going to be
useful if it was already installed so the daemon could be capturing data
when the problem occurred. Is that correct, or am I thinking of a
different package?
