Also, BTW... the SMART logic on the newer ATA/EIDE drives gives me the most problems with ATA drives... (They often schedule self tests at odd times, and most LINUX based systems use the error data returned by the SMART logic and will fail a drive if SMART says it failed certain tests... ) I am not sure if GOS uses the SMART logic and/or has the smartctl command that most LINUX systems have. You might want to try the INFO switch and see what kind of stuff the SMART logic monitors and return to the system.... If not in a SnapServer, you might want to check it out on another LINUX box....
