i too am having this problem on my acer travelmate 2303wlmi Intel celeron 40gb Toshiba drive.
every time i boot up palimpsest informs me that i have bad sectors on disk, the disk is failing and needs to be replaced but it still passes! never had this under 9.04 but got it on my first boot of 9.10! apparently have 191 bad sectors ID5-reallocated sector count normalised 100 worst 100 threshold 50 value 117 ID197-current pending sector count normalised 100 worst 100 threshold 0 value 74 i have done an extended test and the results return the same. i thought it may have something to with the fact that i have had the laptop since 2004 but i don't think that is the case. other diskcheck utils don't report anything -- 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
