Is there a way to check the thealth condition of the hard disk?
I use Kubuntu. Is there any way for me to tell it is time to get a new hard disk? I am aware hard disks must be replaced because they do not last forever. I better replace it before it becomes completely unusable and inaccessible

If you have a SMART capable disk smartctl(8) is one option.

Try: Code:
$ sudo smartctl --all /dev/sdX A more brief report is available using: Code:
$ sudo smartctl -l error /dev/sdX Note: smartctl(8) doesn't work with any USB-attached disks you're using. (Not talking about thumbdrives, BTW.) HTH... |
