Whole hard-drive is frozen (Refusing I/O)? Best thing to do at this point?

Jan 30, 2013 10:47 AM

It all fixed its self (Like I hoped), I can't junk this because omni is all like "Nein, you paid for ub3r but only get to junk once a day" so yo. What's up?

Curiosity. Did you try running a HDD check on the drive after the freeze? Such as Spinrite or a Disk Check Utility right from the manufacturer?

Might be worth running to verify stability and repair anything possible.

No, I didn't, purely because I feel as though the freeze was justified. I was hashing ~ 11 2GB files (At the same time, not in a queue), copying over 20GB from one driver to this drive (in a queue) and was attempting to extract another file which just completely froze (Was only 500KB).

Well, never mind. With that tid-bit of information, I'd of not run the scans/checks either.
