--- Comment #13 from Harald Sitter <[email protected]> --- Yes a rework of the system as a whole. I started but got bogged down on it being a super invasive. There is also the question if we really should warn on this stuff by default. >From the bug reports I've seen there is about twice as much evidence of notifications leading to false positives than not notifying leading to false negatives. And that is also why I've seen none of our end users able to deal with the notification. Unless you know how SMART works and how disk damage **may** manifest you have zero chance of making heads or tales of the soft warnings - even if we actually dumped the raw smartctl output in the UI. This entire feature continues to irk me greatly as it runs counter to the original design goal. If we can't tell the user "yo, change the disk" with reasonable certainty we really should just tell them nothing me thinks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
