Fair enough. :) Thanks for the response. So the big question (to all) becomes this: is this a hard drive issue, or a motherboard / SATA controller issue? Either one would suck, but hard drives are obviously easier to swap than a motherboard. Thoughts on how to go about diagnosing the issue further to determine what is going on would be greatly appreciated. Aside from replacing all the drives and hoping for the best, I don't see an easy way to really figure out what is causing the I/O errors that are resulting in bad sectors. -james On Thu, Dec 30, 2010 at 12:59, Ryan Wagoner <rswagoner@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > 2010/12/30 James <jtp@xxxxxxxxx>: >> >> Here's what smartctl shows for all of the drives: >> >> ~ # for i in a b c d ; do smartctl -a /dev/sd$i | grep Temperature ; >> done >> 190 Airflow_Temperature_Cel 0x0022 069 059 045 Old_age >> Always - 31 (Lifetime Min/Max 23/37) >> 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 031 041 000 Old_age >> Always - 31 (0 23 0 0) >> 190 Airflow_Temperature_Cel 0x0022 068 058 045 Old_age >> Always - 32 (Lifetime Min/Max 22/38) >> 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 032 042 000 Old_age >> Always - 32 (0 22 0 0) >> 190 Airflow_Temperature_Cel 0x0022 068 057 045 Old_age >> Always - 32 (Lifetime Min/Max 22/38) >> 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 032 043 000 Old_age >> Always - 32 (0 22 0 0) >> 190 Airflow_Temperature_Cel 0x0022 069 059 045 Old_age >> Always - 31 (Lifetime Min/Max 23/37) >> 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 031 041 000 Old_age >> Always - 31 (0 23 0 0) >> >> Those values seem appropriate, particularly since the "max" is 37 (as >> defined by the drive manufacturer?). >> > > Not sure why the log is showing the weird C temp.
