I had a couple of Maxtor 5T040H4 40 GB IDE drives fail on me within days of each other. The first drive spent most of its life as my production system boot drive until I replaced it with a 120 GB a year ago. It then spent it's remaining life in my XP machine as a slave IDE drive. Strangely it would hang the IDE bus. The second of the two Maxtor drives spent its life in various FreeBSD machines here, lately being my /opt in my media machine in my bedroom. It didn't hang the IDE bus. It responded to id requests from the BIOS but when it came time to read /usr/local or /usr/X11R6, nada, nothing. The directories were there but all the files returned with I/O errors, UDMA errors in syslog. The one drive in front of me has a manufacture date of 21APR2001. That's a long life for a disk drive. May both drives rest in peace. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert FreeBSD UNIX: Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org e**(i*pi)+1=0 From owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Feb 2 14:04:35 2007 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-chat@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-chat@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [69.147.83.52]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 47FA716A407 for ; Fri, 2 Feb 2007 14:04:35 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from infofarmer@gmail.com) Received: from ug-out-1314.google.com (ug-out-1314.google.com [66.249.92.169]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BFEE513C4AC for ; Fri, 2 Feb 2007 14:04:34 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from infofarmer@gmail.com) Received: by ug-out-1314.google.com with SMTP id o2so747563uge for ; Fri, 02 Feb 2007 06:04:33 -0800 (PST) DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=gmail.com; s=beta; h=received:message-id:date:from:sender:to:subject:cc:in-reply-to:mime-version:content-type:content-transfer-encoding:content-disposition:references:x-google-sender-auth; b=L6QjFcFQ7Rm7z0i/VAllUl9IiQqJ39rCl8Wge/Jdwvp2B9Pg768BPMqgbZZZ6MF/U8uGOEK5XwOcmqB81fjAUM7rai3aNNUGEqv8h4q6rD6zQMLCknVvIRpza+wWGcvEOuoviG1uuNra8Vtvo5dbe/KbNbCOYXb5j2YERugShCc= Received: by 10.78.131.8 with SMTP id e8mr820060hud.1170425073196; Fri, 02 Feb 2007 06:04:33 -0800 (PST) Received: by 10.78.170.11 with HTTP; Fri, 2 Feb 2007 06:04:33 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: Date: Fri, 2 Feb 2007 17:04:33 +0300 From: "Andrew Pantyukhin" Sender: infofarmer@gmail.com To: "Cy Schubert" In-Reply-To: <200702021335.l12DZGJx016620@cwsys.cwsent.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline References: <200702021335.l12DZGJx016620@cwsys.cwsent.com> X-Google-Sender-Auth: 84d44ba8d9b89438 Cc: chris.eubank@gov.bc.ca, freebsd-chat@freebsd.org, william.parr@gov.bc.ca Subject: Re: Coincidence X-BeenThere: freebsd-chat@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Non technical items related to the community List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 02 Feb 2007 14:04:35 -0000 On 2/2/07, Cy Schubert wrote: > This is one of those things that just make you go... hmmmm? > > I had a couple of Maxtor 5T040H4 40 GB IDE drives fail on > me within days of each other.

It's a 120GB Maxtor drive. Not old, but this story is worh it. One day, my server had crashed on me. I had a faulty CPU at that time. When I tried to turn my server back on, the machine just hung, and the drive was saying little "click click click click" noises. "Oh no!", I thought to myself, "All my PORN!?" Could it really be that I had been subjected to the click of death? In despair, I turned off the box, and let it stay powered off in my closet for a whole, full week. So, I came back from work one night, and decided to check if the drive was really dead. I turned on the box, and it booted! All my files were in place, no damages had happened. The drive has been working flawlessly ever since, except now I use a seagate as my main system disk, and the Maxtor as /home.

I have had a couple of drives succom to the click of death, but I never thought to punish them with a time-out to make them consider working. On a few cases, I found that when trying to get the data off a clicking drive, I could give it a good Wack when it locked up and that would make it go a bit further to get more data off.
