Device: /dev/sda [SAT], 8 Offline uncorrectable sectors
Smartctl tells me the problem is at LBA 2014551336 (this is a 2TB disk)
sounds bad
Here's the question: If I just reformat and restore /home from a
recent backup, will the disk automatically deal with the sectors
pending reallocation?
REALLY: throw away the disk and do not restore backups to it
be thankful that you got warned instead lsoe the disk
from one moment to another and replace it
I would have to agree with this as I had the same thing happen to me,
the final result was a completely new disk in the machine....there was
no other alternative for it,...BUT I was able to restore a lot of data /
music / files / folders / pictures because I was always making backups
of my system on a weekly basis....word to the wise....get ahold of some
external media and use it to hold backups of your system.
