Unreadable sector == bad sector. You might want to look at the smartcrl output. E.g. smartctl -a /dev/sda In general, if the drive failed to relocate a bad sector (or slowly running out of space to relocate sectors to) it should be replaced ASAP. If the disk is under warranty, back it up and RMA it. - Gilboa -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
