well, i just did an experiments on my old pentum III computer.
one of the slave hardisk listed as /dev/sdb1 (EXT2) and /dev/sdb2(SWAP)
i run the command /dev/null > /dev/sdb1 and suddently,
i cannot cannot read or mount my /dev/sdb1 anymore even after i restart my
computer few times. i have message saying media failure or disk I/O error.

now i am wondering. whether it is because the command i just executed or
my hard disk is really dying?
