You could try /usr/ports/sysutils/smartmontools to run S.M.A.R.T. selftests on the drive. Try things like this: ### Test 1: # smartctl -a ad0 | more ### Test 2: # smartctl -t offline ad0 <then wait for offline selftests to complete, then again:> # smartctl -a ad0 | more ### Test 3: # smartctl -t long ad0 <again wait for selfttests to complete, then again:> # smartctl -a ad0 | more Regards, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
