The only thing I can think of is to check the drive for errors... To check the status: smartctl --attributes --log=selftest --quietmode=errorsonly /dev/sdc To run a test: smartctl --test=long /dev/sdc I believe it is attribute 5 that shows remapped sectors. This should ideally be 0 but a small number is sometimes acceptable.
