Will the `smartctl -o on /dev/sdx` (for > each sdx), fix the nonzero Reallocated_Event_Count issue on RAID arrays in a non-desctructive way?

No.  Nor for non-RAID either.  It doesn't "fix" Reallocated_Event_Count
-- rather, its purpose is to make Reallocated_Event_Count go up faster, in that as soon as a sector starts to go bad it will be reallocated if readable, and the sooner the more likely it is possible. A non-zero Reallocated_Event_Count is not a problem. Whatever says it is a problem is the real problem. Fix that instead.

Non-zero Current_Pending_Sector is a problem, but RAID should be fixing that already. I don't know, but I think that enabling Automatic Offline Testing should cause any uncorrectable sectors to be noticed and fixed sooner by RAID.

  Do you have to use the /dev/sdx devices or the /dev/md devices?

Automatic Offline Testing must be enabled on an actual ATA hard disk, so no fake disk such as dm or md. See `man smartctl`.


With the changes, I was shocked to see the error message when I tried a live DVD on my laptop. It would be worthwhile to have a tool for testing and possibly fixing the problem in a non-destructive way for most users. I guess it is time for an RFE search.
