Every write brings that sector closer to failure, and eventually, a problematic portion of the drive is excluded from use by the drive's firmware. Normally, this happens in small chunks, transparently, and the user is not affected by it. Eventually, a system with appropriate tools will warn that the "reallocated sector count" has reached a threshold, and the drive should be replaced. Continued use of such a failed drive would have unpredictable results and is not recommended. However, a user that responds to minor software problems with a process that writes several passes of random data to every sector on the drive cannot expect normal results. A user with this usage pattern would be well advised to learn the proper usage of their operating system to avoid undue wear on the system and further personal stress. The line between the malicious intent of a third party and the willful ignorance of a first party may be broad, but perhaps only to the observer. Then again, someone experiencing computer problems without apparent impetus may be the victim of maliciously targeted planned obsolescence scheme propagated by a data-hungry hard drive manufacturing industry, in an evil attempt to circumvent Facebook's privacy filters and reap a wealth of shopping lists and pet photos directly from the user's hard drive when the drive is returned for warranty service. -- 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 Have a question?
