Is there a way to stress test a disk? I've got one which is behaving a bit 
strangely. No bad sectors reported, but reiserfs gags when it's used as part 
of a logical volume, and over night it appears to have lost it's partition 
table.

I feel it deserves a 24 hour workout before I chuck it away. Any utils to do 
that sort of thing?
