I thought I had already done this but just to make sure, I've done it again - no effect. If there is really some kind to self-test going on, it's invisible to smartctl. A short self-test showed no errors, either. I'll look out for firmware updates for that disk and will buy a small SD/MMC/CF-card for testing. Maybe I'll also ask the Grub-guys whether they have any ideas. Thanks anyway! At least I know it's not just me who is confused by this behavior. --Sig_/DwruSm=lXDbpCiB8JDM05rP Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkhwr9YACgkQqs4uOUlOuU9iJgCfRoY2TjAFPoV8hzFRcpX856/l gI4An11K0+UA+0Gnalsy4aODioDNx+gW =RmBL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/DwruSm=lXDbpCiB8JDM05rP-- -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
