Comment (by kallisti5):
I know Ubuntu *used* to alert you of failing drives. This is partially
where I got the idea from. I had it happen once and it was pretty amazing
since it gave me a little time to make sure my backups were in order.
Here is someone documenting it:

I have a dedicated Haiku machine at my desk, and i've heard the heads
clack occasionally in a way they shouldn't which spawned this ticket :-)
