| Post subject: | Is my hard drive failing? |
I rebooted after my sound stop working on everything including movies and recordings(every once in while the sound stops on my movies and is fixed when I switch to a recording for a second and then back to a movie). When it started to boot again fsck forced a manual check and after a lot of yyyyyyyyyy it finished. Rebooted again, and that nasty c7 respawning message appeared. After an hour of muddling around, I discovered my /tmp was totally gone (when i did a man ls it couldn't create tmp file). So I made a new one with mkdir /tmp and chmod 1777 /tmp. Is this a serious sign? My main drive is -2 years old (ide 120g seagate) and has been running knoppmyth(current 5.5) for that long(24/7). This is the second time I have done a manual fsck (last was 1 year ago) Thanks On a side note, my longest uptime was 103 days. |

I'm not sure if your drive is 'going bad' or not, but there was clearly filesystem corruption some how. Was it powered down cleanly? Have a look at using smartmontools to at a minimum, read the SMART chip on the drive. You can also do a short and long test as well. |

Thanks I'll try that with smartmontools(never used before) this weekend. It was powered down cleanly. |
