Hi,
While doing nothing special the system start printing TIMEOUT -
WRITE_DMA erros and eventually after an atacontrol mode 0 PIO4 PIO4
hanged completely at 04:20.
After restart I've got a few TIMEOUT .. but no hung, however the machine
is idle.
SMART was enabled as seen bellow, but smartd wasn't running (stupid, huh
:-/ ).
Obvious question: is the hdd dying ?
Second question, as I'm not familiar with SMART: how much can one trust
SMART reports ?
Third question: could you suggest some settings for smartd ? I'm, asking
this because I don't fully understand the man pages for smartctl and
smartd; a link explaining more about smart would also be appreciated.
