Re: [PLUG] advice on kernel errors?
|
The last time I saw seek complete errors on a drive, it failed completely
not long thereafter. That is but one datapoint though, so I am not sure how
helpful that is.
Do you have smartd running? If your drive supports SMART, you can get a
plethora of information there that might help as well..
