Maybe I was just lucky, but I had an uncorrectable sector error at one point, and ran a dd write on the drive, and SMART reported the sectors were corrected. It wouldn't do it with a read, but a full write worked. The drive worked for quite some time after that. I might still have it, but I can't remember which drive that was (I've had a lot). > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- Thomas Fjellstrom thomas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
