** Description changed: 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.blobl + wget -O /tmp/smart.blobl http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=34234 - Install libatasmart-bin - Run - skdump --load=/tmp/smart.blob --overall + 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.
