Hi,
I have debian Squeeze installed on my machine. Computer is deployed with
hard drive MAXTOR STM3320613AS. Recently, smartd have printed to logs
the following messages:
Feb 4 20:53:18 zsm-debian smartd[1868]: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], 3
Currently unreadable (pending) sectors
Feb 4 20:53:18 zsm-debian smartd[1868]: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], 3
Offline uncorrectable sectors
Feb 4 20:53:18 zsm-debian smartd[1868]: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], SMART
Usage Attribute: 190 Airflow_Temperature_Cel changed from 68 to 69
Feb 4 20:53:18 zsm-debian smartd[1868]: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], SMART
Usage Attribute: 194 Temperature_Celsius changed from 32 to 31
After that I ran short selftests on given device, but they haven't found
any error:
# smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda

where Seek_Error_Rate grows slowly (aprox. by 3 every 2 seconds).
I have read that important pre-failing parameters are
Raw_Read_Error_Rate, Seek_Error_Rate and Reallocated_Sector_Ct but still
I can't decide whether disk is failing or not. Can somebody help,
whether it is needed to replace disk or not? Any help is appreciated...
