what's somewhat weird is that the disk _seemed_ OK (i.e. no errors
that I would notice, nothing in the syslog) and then suddenly the disk
does not respond at all, I tried dd_rescue and it ran for hours (more
than a day) and it rescued absolutely nothing. Is it possible that the
disk surface is OK but the electronics went bad? Is there anything that
can be done if that's the case? (I have another disk, same model).
