Get your SMART status from the disk Smartctl -a /dev/sda
Look for the pending sector count and reallocated sector count. On a completely healthy disk they will be zero.
Ted, Looks like I need to replace this disk: # smartctl -a /dev/sdb ... ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE 197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0012 096 096 000 Old_age Always - 712 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0033 100 100 010 Pre-fail Always - 0 I'll order a new disk today; the current one is about 4 years old. This is my main drive; /dev/sdb holds /home, /opt, and /data1. I need to learn how to transfer the data in those partitions to a new drive. Thanks, Rich
