[plug] Eek.. help!

Further to that.... the DMA errors I was getting in DMESG are no longer 
showing up, since I rebooted..

As below:

Have been having a look through my dmesg and I get the following:
> [285227.084587] hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21 
> [285237.076070] hda: DMA timeout error [285237.082256] hda: 
> dma timeout error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete 
> DataRequest } [285237.096202] ide: failed opcode was: unknown 
> [285237.134045] hda: status error: status=0x50 { DriveReady 
> SeekComplete } [285237.141990] ide: failed opcode was:

> MULTWRITE_EXT [285237.325854] ide0: reset: success 
> [285257.318815] hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21 

Now, also.. I'm running smartctl --test=long /dev/hda which says it takes 70 minutes, how do I view the results of that? 

Cheers
