@p4man: I have a 120GB Maxtor (6Y120L0). Reallocated Sector Count Threshold = 63, Value = 191 sectors, so palimpsest gives me the "Disk has many bad sectors warning" each time I log in.
So I ran the manufacturer's diagnostic tool "SeaTools for Windows" in Long DST mode which reads each sector, and no problems were found. The SeaTools SMART check also passes. So even when a reasonable number of reallocated sectors are found by palimpsest (191 sectors) it still seems to be giving false positives. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot-SMART Data.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35016911/Screenshot-SMART%20Data.png -- palimpsest bad sectors false positive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/438136 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-disk-utility in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
