I've been trying to run a long selftest on that drive, but the constant
reboots are fscking that up. I have attached the last smartctl -a output,
indicating that the test was aborted probably from all the resets that are
being issued, the last one froze me for around 5 minutes but I haven't
rebooted yet. Its attached. Can anyone see if there is actually anything
wrong with the drive? If a boot will last long enough for the -t long to
complete, then it passes with no errors, but this was interrupted now for the
3rd time.
