Yes, you should. Fsck only checks the integrity of the filesystem structures. It's basically like walking into a library, going through the card catalog without looking at any books, and then declaring that the books are all fine. Well, maybe they area. You can be fairly sure that the whole building hasn't burned down yet, because otherwise the card catalog would be gone too, but you can't _really_ guarantee that there's nothing smoldering in the stacks. Smartd, on the other hand, accesses low-level diagnostics built into the disk itself. > How do I, if possible, correct this?
