Have you considered running a script every minute via cron to check the
drives status and send the result to a log file? When it disappears,
you'll have a time stamp and then you can check the real logs for what
went on @ that time.
I don't know how you're checking the drives status, but the following
might form the basis for a script:
#!/bin/bash
date >>log.file
# Put your checking code here, and make sure you output to the same log
file, most likely via>>log.file
Then add the script to crontab to run every minute and wait for it to
happen again.
With a bit more sophisticatiuon, you could have the box send you an
email or ring the bell when it occurs.
Hello, Bill
I did a little research on my own (on the theme of logs), and I found the
following in /var/log/messages:

I then located the following link:

Is my issue like the one referred to in the email that I put the link for? If
I have found something new, please let me know, and I will add my comments to
whatever bug you can lead me to, or I can file a new one, if you will tell me
where, and what component and sub-component I should file it under.
I just downloaded the FC3 updates-testing kernel. I will proceed to install
that and reboot. I will get back to you with whatever I find.
