I did the stupidest thing I could as to forget that I was running on battery while installing FreeBSD on a free (1st) partition. and I found the laptop shutting down when it was too late. After this event smartctl consistently reports Read Failure starting on LBA 26203589, Current_Pending_Sector 1, and Offline_Uncorrectable 4. This block is within partition in question. Thus I know I damaged hdd within its boundries. Simply formating this partition certainly did not help. I've run dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 both starting with the reported LBA and then on the entire partition. And I still have same report from smartctl I run badblocks on the partition firs in non-destructive and then in destructive (read/write) mode in both cases badblocks reported 0 errors. But smartctl still gives me the same report. In all the cases I run smartctl -t offline /dev/sda1 just to ensure smartctl updates its data before I run final smartctl -A /dev/sda Any suggestions folks? It drives me crazy. I'm fighting it 2 days for now. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
