In my case palimpsest reports a failing disk error because the worst
value of a temperature attribute is one lower than the threshold. The
current value is well above the threshold. Perhaps palimpsest should
support manually ignoring a failed attribute so the warning icon will
show up only if another attribute will give failure?
