[gentoo-user] Hardware_ECC_Recovered growing

2013-02-25 Thread Helmut Jarausch

Hi, one of my harddrives appears to be very slow. I have issued smartctl -a /dev/sdb | grep Hardware_ECC_Recovered which shows growing counts - increasing from 59013289 to 6641 within a few minutes. Does this mean my harddrive is dying? Thanks for a comment, Helmut.
