Hmmm - sounds like its seen 868 read/write errors. However to advise you better we need to see the output. I suspect it is huge because there are error details for each of the 868 errors. How about post the first 200 lines of the smartctl output to the list?
Here are the first 91 lines. After that it looks like error specifics. Please let me know what you think or if you need more info. smartctl version 5.36 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-6 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Fujitsu MHT2xxxAT/MHU2100AT series Device Model: FUJITSU MHT2040AT Serial Number: NN50T481446T Firmware Version: 0022 User Capacity: 40,007,761,920 bytes Device is: In smartctl database [for details use: -P show] ATA Version is: 6 ATA Standard is: ATA/ATAPI-6 T13 1410D revision 3a Local Time is: Sat Jan 27 15:47:38 2007 UTC SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.
