Are there any alternatives? Here are two examples:
Use SMART (AFAIK, Vista does that).
SMART is hardware- and not filesystem dependent.
Besides, the implementation of SMART differs wildly from each hard-drive
manufacturer.

This is not a bug, it is a design principle of Ubuntu:
And how about using ReiserFS by default, or any other journaled

Actually, the Tracker Search Tool plugin is enabled
