dear fellow scsi disk users.
i was informed that seagate baracuda disks fail without warning.
there is no mention of bad block errors. the extra blocks used to correct
bad blocks are used up and that is it.
how can one check to see when a disk's life expectancy is only a few
weeks. i would like to have a warning and replace it before a catastophic
failure. there should be some way to check the number of replacement blocks
still available.
truly,
sandy
