FC-11 and Seagate Free Agent Go usb drives

[Paolo Galtieri]

The drive was purchased on Monday 7/13/09.  And smartctl -A /dev/sdf1
produces:

smartctl version 5.38 [x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-8 Bruce

on F9 and

smartctl version 5.38 [x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-8 Bruce

on F11.  I suspect the popup regarding disk failure is bogus.
