Hi, after finding a bad sector on my hd (see previous thread) a read a lot stuff about SMART, smartctl and such to determine wether and how severe is a bad sector and how to cope with it.
There is (at least ;) one thing I dont understand: On the one hand, the surface test (extended offline and such) aborts as soon the first read fgailure happens. On the other hand it is said: If the count of bad sectors increases over time it is time to change the hd. How can the second happen, if the first is true??? Best regards, mcc
