>From this smartctl report, (running smartctl -a -d ata /dev/sda) it looks like the drive is not having any errors. I am leaning towards a driver or power issue. I have moved the hard drive to a machine with identical hardware and it has been up for one day at this point. I have run Memtest86 on the old machine for 24 hours and it has passed 28 times with flying colors. smartctl version 5.36 [i686-redhat-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-6 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Device Model: ST3160811AS Serial Number: 6PT54BA6 Firmware Version: 3.AAE User Capacity: 160,041,885,696 bytes Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall] ATA Version is: 7 ATA Standard is: Exact ATA specification draft version not indicated Local Time is: Wed Aug 8 09:26:29 2007 PDT SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

Those are the >important and useful bit. Let me add that the word "fail" will always appear in the TYPE column in the report. Look at the "WHEN FAILED" column; if that is clear then the disk hasn't failed yet. See `man smartctl` about this and /don't panic/. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
