OpenSuse 11.2: Hard disk sometimes unmounts by itself

view full story
linux-howto

http://forums.opensuse.org – I set my storage hard disk to auto-mount at start up, using fstab options, but sometimes (when my computer has been on for awhile) the storage hard disk will unmount by itself....any ideas? I have already tried replacing the hard disk multiple times, and I switched from Kubuntu to Opensuse. (partially because of this) This occurance only appears after I have had the hard disk for awhile. (Western Digital Caviar Green series) I do plan to upgrade to OpenSuse 11.3, but I'm not sure if that will help with this (Distributions)

I've got here a Western Digital AAKS 500 Gigabyte HDD. There is a mechanical fault with the head and each time the system is powered up with the hdd attatched the sata port it makes a clicking noise.

Dear Members

In these days my hard disk is weird I can see in my pc that the red light (when read/write process to the disk happens) remain on and Linux crash, it seems that the hard disk has problems

Therefore, exits a tool according with your experience that let me see the status of all my hard disk?

Thanks in advanced

I'm having trouble planning how I should store and access my files! I need a good way to ensure that I always have backups (which are browseable) and access to my files from different computers.

My network looks like this...

SERVER

On my local file server I have

/mnt/storage/home /mnt/storage/backup

Storage is a 2TB internal hard disk.

Hello,

Many processes enter in disk sleep mode and stops (Hang) and return to work after 10 to 20 seconds.

In System Monitor i get "Disk Sleep" like this:

Hello,

I currently have the older version of ubuntu 10.04, and wish to upgrade my hard disk that it is on. Its currently on a 300GB Sata drive. But I wish to now transfer the OS onto a 120GB SSD hard disk, as its much faster!

The ubuntu partition is only 100GB so it shouldnt be a problem.

But how would I go about doing this? Is there some utility i can use?

Just did a clean install of Xubuntu 12.04 amd64 on a new Western Digital wd30ezrx 3TB hard disk - no errors during install.

Hi all, I bought a hard disk yesterday (WD Scorpio Blue - WD10TPVT) 1TB and I replced it with my previous hard disk. Now I only can install windows (XP and 7) but I can not install Ubuntu again (of course no other Linux based CD can be boot and start!!!). What Can I do now? Can some one help me to solve the problem? I don't want to install windows and I only want to have Ubuntu.

Thanks a lot
