Palimpsest SMART details for the disk
From what I can tell your disk has bad sectors and that's exactly why we report it as failing. It's supposed to work this way. If this was my disk, I'd back up the data and move it to a more healthy disk. Moving to libatasmart and closing as NOTABUG since it's supposed to work this way. Btw, Palimpsest is not using smartctl - it is (indirectly) using libatasmart which is more picky than smartctl is - e.g. just a single bad sector will trigger this warning.

Output of smartctl for the disk
(application/octet-stream isn't really a suitable mime type - text/plain is much better)
Alright. Thanks for taking a look at this! |
Created attachment 343283 [details] Output of smartctl for the disk Description of problem: Every time I log into my Fedora 11 Preview install, a warning pops up that a disk is failing. If I open Palimpsest and view the SMART details for the disk, the only failing attribute is "Reallocated Sector Count". The current and worst values are 199, while the threshold is 140. My understanding of SMART is that something is failing only if the values are lower than the threshold, so my disk shouldn't be reported as failing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-disk-utility-0.3-1.fc11.i586 DeviceKit-003-1.i586 DeviceKit-disks-004-2.fc11.i586 How reproducible: Every time I log in. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log into GNOME. 2. "Disk is failing" dialog appears. Actual results: Disk reported as failing. Expected results: Disk not reported as failing. Additional info: The disk as a WDC WD800BB-00CAA1. I'll attach screenshots of Palimpsest and the output of smartctl -a /dev/sda, which doesn't report the disk as failing.
