Hello:
I'm not sure if there is anything in Fedora or not?
Have you tried the web-site for drive manufacturer. They usually have some utilities available to test their drives.

my second drive is dead , sometimes start and sometimes not .... now i don't need the test tool ....
I want to remove this second drive , but before i need to edite my fstab.com

/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/home2 /home2 ext3 defaults 1 2
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0

my question is , i need to remove only the line : LABEL=/home2 /home2 ext3 defaults 1 2
or i have to do something else ? i

Cheers

Hello:
I believe you are correct. As long as it's not part of a lvm (which I don't think it is)
You could just comment out the line .... same effect.

Hello:
If you have a look at your system-monitor File System tab your should be able to tell. Or under Aministration / Logical Volume Management.
As soon as you comment out the line and reboot you will know right away.

Hello:
This can explain it somewhat I hope : http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/custom-guide/ch-lvm-intro.html

What it means for your that you may have to do some more digging to find a how-to or instructions on replacing or removing a lvm.

I think there are some how-to's here in the forums, you will have to have a look through.
Off hand I have no idea how to replace a physical drive that is part of a lvm setup.
