I occasionally get the following message from smartd: Offline uncorrectable sectors detected: /dev/sdc [SAT] - 48 Time(s) 1 offline uncorrectable sectors detected smartctl -H reports ** sdc : SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED This is my backup drive so it is not critical to my operation. As far as I can determine from a Google search this is just an annoyance. The drive is WDC WD20EADS 2TB in a single-drive configuration. Basically, this is an annoyance because it is only a single sector and the drive is otherwise healthy. I think updating smartd.conf by adding '-U 198+ ' should suppress the warning. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf at blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id:3BC1EB90 PGP Key fingerprint: 49E2 C52A FC5A A31F 8D66 C0AF 7CEA 30FC 3BC1 EB90
