I need to run a self-test on my external USB drive and don't want to use System -> Disk Utility.I've taken a look at the man page for udisks and curiously, there does not appear to be an option for self tests. Is there a way to run a self test using udisks directly from the command line?

Its basically an old SATA Hard Drive with a Windows XP partition I was trying to sell.When my computer does the BIOS checks, it doesn't pass the SMART test (but I can boot it anyway), although I can't boot Linux in any way with this Hard Disk connected (I even tried Live CD distros, like Parted Magic).I can boot the XP partition from inside the disk, although I guess its pretty close to not being able to. Is there any way to "fix" this Hard Drive?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a XP/ubuntu 8.04 dual boot setup and I walked away from the PC for a minute and when I returned I had "SMART command failed error. Press f2 to resume" on-screen. I pressed f2 and it went to grub boot menu which gave error 16 and froze. I ran Ubuntu live cd which appears to freeze after selecting try without install(latest attempt appears to freeze on ubuntu logo loading up).
I ran Hiren CD miniXP but the My Computer doesn't recognize the disk nor does it appear in the disk management console. HDTune and a partition tool doesn't see the disk.I ran Hiren CD linux recovery but that loops with IO error. My latest attempt is running Ubuntu 10.04 Live cd which is appears to be loading, slowly at least.I have an external hard drive and usb stick ready to copy to. I also have my laptop. It will be greatly appreciated if someone can tell me how to get my files off the drive.
edit: just pressed esc and these lines keep appearing.

I was trying to write a script, but for some reason I can't test two variables using -gt:
a=`expr $currentSize + 0`
b=`expr $fileSize + 0`
[$a -gt $b]
this is what I get:
[22234534: not found
what is the problem? It seems like I can't check if a variable is greater than another but only if a variable is greater than a fixed number. Is that so? By the way the variables $fileSize and $currentSize exist and $a and $b have a value.

Is there any way to pass more than one command on to gnome-terminal? I have tried various single and double quoting senarios and in a final attempt, I abstracted to an exported function all to no avail. Perhaps even though gnome-term is better at many things than xterm, xterm trumps it in this instance.
Code: cmd='date | wc'
$cmd If this script is executed, an error is generated. The reason written was that "The execution fails because the pipe is not expanded and is passed to date as an argument".What is meant by expansion of pipe. When we execute date | wc on the command line, it goes fine.then | is not treated as an argument. Why?

Can someone point me in the right direction
I tried
Code:
chown -R owner:group *
which does not work on the invisible directories (why?). When I used ".*" as wildcard it changed all (visible) files including the parent directory (the one I was currently working in which is the "dot") . I can change the invisible directories owner and group using dophin but how is it done from the command line?
