Sorry for being little off-topic, but I am really clueless on where else
I could ask.

I just installed "smartmontools" on this brand new laptop with SATA HDD,
and the numbers I am seing are a bit scary. This is what I am talking
about...

    1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate     ... 90912
    2 Throughput_Performance  ... 22348118
    5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct   ... 8589934592000
    7 Seek_Error_Rate         ... 1559
  196 Reallocated_Event_Count ... 458686464
  195 Hardware_ECC_Recovered  ... 281
  203 Run_Out_Cancel          ... 433781670603

...full output attached.

195 and 203 are sometimes increasing, and sometimes decreasing, 5 and
196 seem to be stable.

This just does not make any sense. Hard drive cannot be _that_ broken
and still operational, can it? I ran the "long" and "offline" tests, and
there does not seem to be any errors in the logs.

What is going on?
