Since yesterdays rawhide update, I am getting the 'One or more disks are failing' icon in the notification area. When I click on it, the palimpsest utility starts. It says that the disk has bad sectors. When I click on details, I get Ata Smart Attributes window, which claims that 'Reallocated Sector Count' and 'Reallocation Count' fail. I do not understand the data in the table very well, but what I found surprising that the Value of Reallocated Sector Count is 0, what does not seems to me like value which should fail. I tried to check this with smartctl -a /dev/sda, I get the output that can be seen below and which looks quite without problem. Also smartctl -l error, smartctl -l selftest report no errors. My question is: Is my disk really failing or is there some bug in the reporting software?
