While the absence of SMART errors doesn't mean the drive isn't about to fail, the presence of them can be a good indicator that the drive is failing. So, if there are significant SMART errors, replace the drive. If there aren't any, then I'd keep going and see if you get more checksum errors. If you do, replace the drive. If you don't, chalk it up to freak random bit-flipping and forget about it. I've had trouble getting smartmontools to work with some of my controllers/drives in opensolaris, and have had better luck just booting into a linux live cd, sometimes, so that may be something to keep in mind. -Ethan
