Destination Linux EP43 - Noah J. Chelliah
0Welcome to Destination Linux for 10-30-17
This week we will be covering………….
Ubuntu 18.04
LXqt
Xubuntu
Antix
Linux mint and the latest gaming news
But first we have a viewer email
I bought a second hand hdd from a sale the local school had. It's a 2tb western digital blue I installed it, got it mounted and used it for about an hour before it became inaccessible. Reformatting at this point left me w a chunk of inaccessible data. Now either hdparm or disks put its status as frozen. From my understanding this can be fixed by power cycling the hdd without power cycling the computer? I'm wondering if this will be a continuous problem on this drive? Would the easiest solution be to put it in an external case?
