I've been working on this for days now and I'm still stuck. It started with my Seagate SATA going crazy. At some operations (read/write) it froze the system for a while and disappeared, leaving a message that one of the drives has been hot-plugged. It kept on freezing for about 10 sec, than unfreezing and so on. On reboot everything's ok, until it hits that 'sweet spot'. In the meantime I discovered that some of the files are unreadable. It hangs about 1 min that pops up a "You don't have permission" dialog.
Changing privileges/owner didn't solve the issue. I tested with Seatools, but the drive is greyed out, like it's not a Seagate model. Short DST does not start, but passes the Generic Short test. SMART status is ok, drive temperature ok, PSU and cables brand new. Somehow it seemed that it doesen't have any physical problems. So I bought today an identic hard, hoping that by making a RAID-1 array will solve the problem. Well, it didn't. Couldn't mirror the source hd. Rejected it instantly.
Hope to hear from you. Curious especially why does Seatools read the hd as non-Seagate. The drive in question is a Seagate Barracuda ST3250410AS, 250G, SATA.
Thanks!
