Recently I have been getting warnings of the following type referring to
my 2nd IDE drive:

Jan 31 12:14:44 shawc linux: hdb: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady 
 SeekComplete DataRequest Error } 

Jan 31 12:14:44 shawc linux: hdb: read_intr: error=0x04 {
DriveStatusError }

Does this mean the drive is on its way out?

Is there an IDE surface check program for Linux?

TIA
