A more thorough discussion of this issue is in yet another Fedora bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=498115.
When I installed karmic, I too was falsely alarmed by palimpsest's warning about a single reallocated bad sector in a disk I've been using for years. I ran the manufacturer's test, which said there was no problem. I believe palimpsests's author, as quoted in #7, is not as well as informed as he could be about the non-zero number of failures one typically sees in disks these days. ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #498115 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=498115 -- gnome-disk-utility nags me too much that my disk is failing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/412152 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
