There are some "how to read smartcl results" articles there. For example:
Linux Harddisk Monitoring with SmartMonTools (smartctl)

Monitoring Hard Disks with SMART
http://www.linuxjournal.com/magazine/monitoring-hard-disks-smart
BTW, I keep smartmontools daemon running and monitoring the disks status.
Greetings,
I have started smartd by uncommenting the line in /etc/smartd.conf and
/etc/default/smartmontools :
# First (primary) ATA/IDE hard disk. Monitor all attributes, enable
# automatic online data collection, automatic Attribute autosave, and
# start a short self-test every day between 2-3am, and a long self test
# Saturdays between 3-4am.
/dev/hda -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03)
# uncomment to start smartd on system startup
start_smartd=yes
I will look into the links provided by you. thanks Camaleón for the
links and reminding me to start smart daemon.

This is showing a sector that it couldn't correct the errors on, and
would have been reported back to the operating system as an I/O error.
You've never completed an extended offline test, try "smartctl -t
long /dev/hda", and check the results after 30 minutes with "smartctl
-a /dev/hda". At the beginning of the output, you can see if the
test has completed yet next to the "Self-test execution status"
field. After the test completes, the results will be near the end of
the output, under "SMART Self-test log".**

I have tested the disk with the command provided by you but the errors
that cannot be corrected are bothering me. I will do some online
search possibly with the key-words and anything suprising pops up I
will post here. key-words : HTS541040G9AT00+smartctl+errors. The
results of the long test are given below. I am using IBM Thinkpad R51
2887-MQ5 laptop.
Long test one [1] [ there was a power cut in the middle of the command
execution ] :
pastebin.com/B2ASzjSu [ the link is valid for one month ]
Long test two [2] [ this time there is no power cut and closed all the
applications ] :
pastebin.com/vZ6kgjzu [ the link is valid for one month ]
thanks for your time,
vishnuvardhan.
It doesn't look like the extended self test found anything new.
However, with my own hard drives, I replace them at the first sign of
errors, especially as they get older. Hard drives are cheap, and it's
easy enough to clone a hard drive from the old drive to a new one.
