Hi eltone
I think gerald_clark may be referring to  smartmontools.tcz

tinypoodle:
smartctl would be the first thing to run on it, if you care about any data you may want to image the filesystem(s) before running chkdsk which might make it worse and you most certainly don't want to run defrag on it.

Hey tinypoodle!

There is nothing in the TCP 5.1 repo to diagnose hard drives starting with smart.

Also, please enlighten your image filesystem(s) comment.  'Image' sounds like the TCP ISO and I have never had a need to create an ISO before.  The largest thumb drives I use for backup is 32GB's and it's a 64GB HD.

Sincerely,
eltone

gerald_clark:
You can download and install the V4 smartmontools.tcz.
He mans you should backup your filesystems to image files on another device.  Use dd conv-noerror.

hi,

A search of 'dd conv-noerror' came up with this OLD link:

http://www.linuxweblog.com/dd-image

It would be nice to split the 65GB HD into a couple 32 GB compressed images, to fit on 32 GB thumb drives.
