I'm going to bet this drive is out of warranty. I'm pretty sure it is |
26 |
over 2 years since I bought it. |
27 |
|
28 |
Once I replace that drive, I'll dd the thing and see what it does then. |
29 |
It'll either break it or give me a fresh start to play with and see how |
30 |
long it lasts. |

I'm using lvm here. I also don't have a mail server set up which is why |
48 |
I run them manually. I usually do it once a month or so but had some |
49 |
family issues to pop up. |

I figured the short test wouldn't say much. I am backing up some of the |
71 |
stuff tho. I do have a 750GB drive that was empty. It won't save it |
72 |
all but it is a start. Test should have been done by now but I guess |
73 |
the copy process is slowing it down. I'm getting this so far: |
