[TriLUG] HD Diags

Thank you. 

Smartctl does the trick.  Turns out that smartctl is part of a bootable 
distro, StressLinux ( http://stresslinux.org/ ).  The bootable CD allows 
testing on an unmounted disk which, as has been pointed out, is much 
preferred to the diags possible on a mounted disk.
