Well, I installed the package in question and ran the very same command you said. However, the Runtime_Bad_Block attribute doesn't appear. Here's the output: $ sudo smartctl -A /dev/sda | grep -E '5 Realloc|183 Runtime|197 Current|199 UDMA' 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0033 200 200 140 Pre- fail Always - 0 197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 1 199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 If I understood correctly what I read, this means there's one sector waiting for remapping, right? And why doesn't the Runtime_Bad_Block attribute appear?
