The host, in fact, hasn't seen an error. There is no trace of any I/O error reports in logs going back a year. Absolutely the only error I'm seeing is smart itself reporting 8 pending sectors over and over again, yet a long selftest doesn't find a single bad LBA. At this point I suspect confused firmware in the SMART department and nothing at all actually wrong with the disk :-). (My crucial SSD drive was another one that had a SMART firmware bug so that it stopped working right after 5000 some-odd hours of operation not because there was anything wrong, but because the SMART firmware was busted - fortunately a firmware update fixed it). -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
