Copied everything off the disk with nary an I/O error appearing, and after copying everything off it, it still said 8 pending sectors. I guess that means no data in any file or directory was associated with the bad sectors. That left me free to experiment with this silly disk, so I started copying /dev/zero to it, and several hours into the zeroing, I got a log message about pending going back to zero. I figured that means it reallocated the blocks finally, but when I look at smartctl -a, I see this: 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0033 100 100 010 Pre-fail Always - 0 apparently there are no reallocated sectors, but the pending and offline numbers have gone back to zero: 197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0012 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0010 100 100 000 Old_age Offline - 0 the one number that looks like some kind of error is 183 Runtime_Bad_Block 0x0032 099 099 000 Old_age Always - 1 but it said that before as well. So, mostly I guess SMART is still confusing me, but maybe I can use this disk for something non-critical now without filling the logs with pending and offline error messages.
