RE: [OT] Hard Drive shutdown
keep an eye on it but this looks bad.
Check something like advanced power manager in the bios is not active that could be shutting down the hd, but biggest likelyhood IMHO is the drive looks to be failing.

Thanks for the reply.
What does this package do? Would it give a more detailed report on what
is going on? This is what I gather from "apt-cache show". Actually, I
am not sure if I would have SMART support on this computer or not. I
don't recall any mention of SMART in regard to my HD (repeating,
WD-400BB), and if the computer is supposed to provide anything of it,
mine probably won't - it's a very old P-166 about 10 yrs old or more.
This is something that has never happened before (AFAIK), and the logs
for the boot don't show any problems in detection of hda.

If you think it might help I will give it a try.
