[tlug] hard drive shock resiliance and health - linux tools?

[Matt Gross <mgrossjp@example.com>]

Hi Everyone,

I just bought a new server which I put together myself.  I'm running
Fedora Core 5.  I have a RAID5 setup with 4 Seagate Barracuda 7200 750GB
drives (http://www.seagate.com/products/personal/barracuda.html) each in
a smart drive quiet cool case
(http://www.users-side.co.jp/shopping/syouhin_page.php?gid=14&cid=57&sgid=156&sid=198&con=10) giving me over 2TB of quiet disk space!  

Well, after a long day at the office, I came home, plopped down in front
of my pc and accidentally bumped my server.  It rocked back and forth a
little bit, but did not fall over.  To say the least I was very upset
with myself.  The good news is that my pc had been sitting idle for most
of the day and I checked my disk i/o and that had been at zero for quite
some time as well.  Could the heads have been parked or off the
platters?  The Seagate website says that the Barracuda 7200 series hard
drives are designed to withstand 68Gs of operating shock.

I'm not seeing any errors and everything is working fine.  What are the
chances that I did or did not damage my drives?

Are there any linux tools which will allow me to confirm if I did or did
not damage my drives?

Thank you,
Matt
