I have recently installed and activated "smartmontools". According to smartmonctl, my HDD is in good shape: | [root@carrot ~]# smartctl -H /dev/hdb | smartctl version 5.36 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-6 Bruce Allen | Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ | | === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === | SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED However, smartd sees it differently: | From logcheck@ Tue Aug 26 09:02:09 2008 | | Security Events for smartd | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Aug 26 08:19:59 carrot smartd[2813]: Device: /dev/hdb, 1 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors | Aug 26 08:19:59 carrot smartd[2813]: Device: /dev/hdb, 1 Offline uncorrectable sectors | Aug 26 08:50:00 carrot smartd[2813]: Device: /dev/hdb, 1 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors | Aug 26 08:50:00 carrot smartd[2813]: Device: /dev/hdb, 1 Offline uncorrectable sectors Which message deserves more attention? For the record, I scored a very bad crash some months ago and have endeavoured to quarantine the identified unreadable sector. The main reason for installing smartmontools was the endeavour to check whether my quarantine was successful -- Felix Karpfen Public Key 72FDF9DF (DH/DSA)
