Re: [vox-tech] Corrupted root files
Thanks for the feedback. Not overclocking, i do have backups, and i'm wondering if its a faulty configuration problem (from a bad/interrupted download, etc) or something else. So, what is smartctl? How do I do a short or long (or any) test of my drive? Thanks!

Put your current hard drives on ice, buy new ones, and copy to the new
ones while sacrificing chickens and old monitors to $DEITY.
Unless you have backups, in which case, toss the old hard drives, buy
new ones, and copy to the new ones while sipping a martini.
Take this with a grain of salt, of course, but honestly, I'd be
worried about the hardware.
