If it is in the middle of an important file it could cause you problems. You can use smartctl to get the sector number. As for whether or not you should replace the disk, that is up to you. Even one bad block indicates the failure rate of this disk is several times that of a similar disk without any reallocated sectors. If you had infinite money you would want to replace the disk. > 2.

You could look at /etc/smartd.conf and see if the options there cause some other behavior. "man smartd.conf" will tell you what the options do. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
