@Eros and @vwingate: I think that your response isn't a false positive, your reallocated sectors value is reasonably low. The long test check all sectors exept reallocated and include the spare area.
SeaTools read the same datas of Palimpsest (S.M.A.R.T. params) and do the *same* test, in fact the tests are done internally by the hard drive and not by software. If you run a long test form Palimpsest you will have the same response. The problems are the strange data, as reported Sharpie1. -- 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
