emerge smartmontools |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
then when that is done, do this: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
smartctl -t long /dev/sd<drive letter here> |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
When you do that, it should print a message that tells when the test |
| 39 |
will complete. It is usually a 24 hour format thing too. This can run |
| 40 |
while the drive is in use too. Sometime after that time, run this command: |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
smartctl -l selftest /dev/sd<drive letter here> |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
That should tell you the results of the test. If it says it passed, |
| 45 |
this is good. If it reports a problem, well it is not good. If you are |
| 46 |
lucky, it will be like a recent problem I had and reformatting will fix |
| 47 |
it. It was a weird problem but beats replacing a drive. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Hope that helps. |
