Right, so there are several error messages mixed in the log. Both from SMART and nouveau, but they have nothing to do with each other. The way logging works you get a mix of it in syslog. So the messages from the graphics card might be completely harmless, but your disk seems to be failing, so backing up and replacing it would be a good idea. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 6FAB5CD5
