I've never tried this cooling trick before, but it seemed appropriate as
the drive initially played ball, but as the minutes ticked by, it got more
and more sulky. It had shed loads of bad sectors (once SMART started to
work!) but its sulks went beyond this and got worse as it got hotter.

I thought that cooling it stood a chance, but getting 30GBytes off its XFS
partition without a single error was *way* beyond my wildest dreams.
