Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-disk-utility
palimpsest complains, that the disk has many bad sectors. palimpsest
thinks, that SMART value 5 "Reallocated Sector Count" fails
(screenshot attached). smartctl reports " 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct
0x0033 097 097 010 Pre-fail Always - 117" (full
log attached) which seems to be ok. This error appears on a different
system, too.
SRU information:
- Impact: Way too trigger happy about "broken disk" notifications, which
both scares people and also makes them ignore situations where the disk is
actually about to die
- Fixed in lucid by reverting from our own bad sectors heuristics (using the
raw numbers) to the manufactuer normalized numbers and manufacturer thresholds:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=34242
- No regression reports since then in lucid.
SRU TEST CASE:
- Download seb128's demo SMART data which have a few bad blocks, but not
enough to be over the manufacturer threshold:
wget -O /tmp/smart.blob
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=34234
- Install libatasmart-bin
- Run
skdump --load=/tmp/smart.blob --overall
With the karmic final version this says "BAD_SECTOR_MANY" which the GUI will
react on with a scary notification.
The updated version should just say BAD_SECTOR.
If you leave out the --overall argument, you get a detailled list of
the attributes. The broken ones will be printed in bold.
On a healthy system, "sudo ./skdump /dev/sda --overall" should still
say "GOOD", and on a genuinely broken hard disk it should give the
appropriate BAD_SECTOR/BAD_SECTOR_MANY answer.
