We were having some discussions on disk MTBF and somebody suggested this:
-- Have a daemon that refreshes every sector on a disk once per month
This would re-write sectors so as to decrease the probability of a read error due to magnetic loss.
Comments anybody? Is this feasible to do? ___________________________________ Michael D. Black Principal Engineer mblack@csi.cc 407-676-2923,x203 http://www.csi.cc Computer Science Innovations http://www.csi.cc/~mike My home page FAX 407-676-2355
