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:

| 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 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
