20:58.32IrishW0lfplarsen: howdy!  I think I found out why my main box was having problems
20:58.57plarsenIrishW0lf: yeah?
20:59.36IrishW0lfHD crashed on my last night.  Got it going long enough to make a dd image, but it indicated it was having I/O errors
21:00.38IrishW0lfmy=me
21:01.01plarsenahhhh - so you think it's been going bad for a while and caused you wierd issues?
21:01.18IrishW0lfyes i do
21:01.39IrishW0lfmainly keyborad freezing up
21:01.57IrishW0lfand not shutting down properly
21:03.33IrishW0lfthank God for journaling
21:05.12IrishW0lfreplaced the HD with another that had been zeroed out and did a install from scratch
21:07.50plarsenMake sure you get "smart" compliant hdds ... that way you should get a heads up on issues like that.
21:08.49IrishW0lfi think it is, but i don't have smart enabled at this time
21:09.44IrishW0lfam i right in thinking that smart is enabled through the BIOS

23:10.45sticksterIrishW0lf_afk: Right, you turn it on in the BIOS, but there is a also a daemon you can run in Linux that will monitor the messages coming from the drive
23:10.55sticksterOtherwise it can put out messages all day long and you won't know about them
23:11.17sticksterThere's probably a *smartd* service somewhere on your system
23:11.51IrishW0lf_afkthanks stickster, i'll check it out
