I'm getting SMART errors, but I'm not sure how much credence to give them. It seems to be the same two e-mails over and over. I recently had to bring the pc to the shop because it wouldn't power on. I thought that the power supply had failed, but the guy did something to the BIOS. I don't have the hardware details at the moment, but could the error be more of a configuration thing rather than an actual hard drive thing? One of the e-mail's: PINE 4.64 MESSAGE TEXT Folder: INBOX Message 51 of 57 ALL Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2007 07:51:00 +0100 From: root <root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: SMART error (CurrentPendingSector) detected on host: localhost.localdomain This email was generated by the smartd daemon running on: host name: localhost.localdomain DNS domain: localdomain NIS domain: (none) The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon: Device: /dev/hdb, 2 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors For details see host's SYSLOG (default: /var/log/messages). You can also use the smartctl utility for further investigation. No additional email messages about this problem will be sent. Thanks, Thufir
