One way to determine if the drive is failing in Linux is to run the following command in the terminal
dmesg | less
This should give you an error list you can scroll through for read/write errors.
If you see a problem on a data drive perform the following:
- Stop the exacq vision server service
sudo /etc/init.d/edvrserver stop<br><br> - Unmount the drive that is having trouble
sudo umount /dev/sdb1<br><br> - Run file system check on that drive
sudo fsck -f -y /dev/sdb1<br><br> - Reboot the system.
If the problem shows on the master drive you will need to do the following:
- Login as the root<br><br>
- Change directory to root (/) directory
cd /<br><br> - Create a file called forcefsck
touch /forcefsck<br><br> - Now reboot the system
reboot<br><br>
The system should run the disk check when it boots back up in to the operating system.
