Ok, I will check into that. However, I have 3 drives, so they can't all be failing at once. I do backups daily, and sometimes in between, too, if there are a lot of changes. For the time being, what I did was to disable the KDE Power Management (Power Devil), and the system has been running smoothly for a couple of hours without the slightest hint of a problem. I tend to think it is the power-saving feature that is not working correctly. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
