This is a 1 terrabyte disk.
This does not look good. Looks like a bad drive. I would run both short and long self tests and see the results from it. First look to see if any errors are already logged. # smartctl -H /dev/sdc # smartctl -l selftest /dev/sdc # smartctl -a /dev/sdc | less Then after observing the results already logged: # smartctl -t short /dev/sdc # sleep 120 # smartctl -l selftest /dev/sdc Then depending upon that I would run a long test. # smartctl -t long /dev/sdc # sleep $((60*20)) # as long as needed for long self test to complete # smartctl -l selftest /dev/sdc I don't hold out much hope. I expect there to be errors in the selftest log. In which case I would say that the drive is bad and replace it as soon as possible. Bob
