It seems that sdk has to be replaced.

Absolutely take this drive back to your dealer. It has re-allocated over a thousand sectors. In my opinion, a drive should be put on a short-term (~3month) replacement list for the next convenient opportunity as soon as the first sector gets relocated. If you get more relocations in quick succession, replace immediately. > sdl: > http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=tipjbpxu Interesting. This drive claims to support SCTERC. I was under the impression the EARS drives didn't. Could you please show the output of "smartctl -l scterc /dev/sdl" ?
