[wplug] fsck running in background?

[John Harrold]

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

| In my experience you RMA defective drives with the manufacturer,
| assuming that you've had it more than a week.  They usually want you to
| run their own diagnostic tool, usually boots off a DOS boot floppy or
| runs on Windows, which typically does a SMART scan and gives you an
| error code.  You then check the warranty status online, fill out the RMA
| request specifying the error code, box it up and ship it out.  Then sit
| tight for a few weeks.

Oh yeah, It's still under warranty. I've only had it about a month, and
it's under warranty till sometime in 2007. I went to wd's rma page before,
but I didn't want to get an rma number till I was sure I wanted to return
the drive.  I'm looking around at their diagnostic stuff right now.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, 
 and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought 
 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of 
 liberty and democracy?
