It means some problem sectors have been reallocated. This correlates with disk failure and depending on how rich you are might signal that it's time to replace the disk. > > 197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0012 100 100 000 Old_age Always > > - 2 > > 198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0030 100 100 000 Old_age > > Offline - 1 > > And these IIRC mean that you've already lost some data.

Disks generally won't remap sectors which it can't read to give you a chance to try to read them some more. It's possible to have one time problems with a sector, so they may not even get remapped to a spare once you overwrite the data or get a good read. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
