From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Huh? What has that to do with a possibly failing drive?
Because to me it looked like someone or something was trying to get access to root only features. I didn't know it had anything to do with drives.
I too love talking about things I know nothing about.
Is this real? I feel like you are trolling
I am not trolling. I'm just very bad at finding information online.
First clue was the "ata" prefacing every error message. Then various things like "SCSI parity error" which indicates data corruption during transmission. "Parity" data is used to double check the integrity of the actual data.
It doesn't tell anything to me. The only disk related thing I know is fsck.
I don't get how you were able to arrive at that conclusion by looking at the console output, but sure, why not.
