It seems that sdk has to be replaced.

Above are the indicators. IIRC, your previous smartctl run showed only a count of 3 for Current_Pending_Sector, but no other errors. Zero'ing the drive with dd has uncovered the true severity of the drive's problems, as another 1000+ bad sectors were identified by the drive and remapped. So yes, the drive needs to be replaced. -- Stan -- 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
