now that i am done ranting. i have a question. I received this error today and i think it was today only so far, but the error is as follows.
hda: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: drive_cmd: error=0x04Aborted Command
i did some googling and found some stuff...but some said go out and get another drive this one is going to hard drive heaven very soon... and other said it could be a software doing this and keep an eye on it. then i saw some say about a program called smartctl. is this a program that centos has...if not what is it and where is a good place to get it and is it worth running it?
i am running centos 3.5 120gig maxtor. with a 1.8 intel cpu 512 mem.
my initial reaction is one that favors my bias against Maxtor drives which would say to ditch the drive now.
Same here. I've had nothing but trouble with Maxtor drives. I always use Seagate or Western Digital. I also always have two hard drives (I only use IDE currently) so I can back stuff up to one hard drive. It sucks, but hard drives fail more than anything else for me at least. So I just always keep two hard drives installed so my stuff gets backed up nightly by a cron job and the really important stuff burned to DVD.
