[wplug] fsck running in background?

[John Harrold]

Sometime in September Poyner, Brandon assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| That doesn't sound so good.  What did badblocks say?  Did you also try
| running 'smartctl -t long /dev/hdc' followed by another smartctl -a?

The disk was in my primary file server. Since I had an identical setup in
the backup server, I swapped out the drive and the cable between the two.
In the backup server I'm going to try the long test and badblocks again
with a new cable to see what that gives me. 

Say the drive is bad, what information would I need to RMA the drive?
Should I send it to WD or back to newegg where I purchased it?
