Running dual-boot Windows 7 / Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric on Dell M90. Windows
CHKDSK reports no problems with my hard drive. Ubuntu S.M.A.R.T. reports
a staggering 7 million+ bad sectors with green light status: Disk has a

I am seeing similar issues with my SSD, lots of errors, but system seems to
run fine.
On my previous drive however, it started to run slowly, due to recovering
errors, and finally reported an error, so something funny is going on.

#165
 Right, the updated package wasn't supposed to actually reinterpret the
raw values.

Is it supposed to reinterpret on fresh installations?
After fresh Oneiric and Precise installations during the year palimpsest still 
counted up allocated sectors, since #172 increase to 53. Tresholds in UI didn't 
change.

This bug was fixed in the package libatasmart - 0.16-1ubuntu0.1

---
libatasmart (0.16-1ubuntu0.1) karmic-proposed; urgency=low

  * debian/rules: Enable simple-patchsys.
  * Add 01_use_manufacturer_bad_blocks.patch: Drop our own many bad sectors
heuristic. This currently causes a lot of false positives, because in many
cases our treshold is either overly pessimistically low, or the raw value
is implausibly high. Just use the normalized values vs. treshold for now.

 Do you still get those notifications with the current lucid or karmic-

I no longer get the notifications, but the SMART data palimpsest still
warns that I have 893 bad sectors, which is incorrect.

 Ok. We all know that the bug is affecting us, but what is the solution
 for this?

It got fixed in 10.04, and for 9.10 (karmic) the fix is in
karmic-proposed, waiting to be tested. Please see the updated
description for how to test it.

 I already repaired my disk with HDD Regenerator, and only 10
 sectors showed me that same bad completely repaired, and Ubuntu 4.10
 Netbook keeps telling me I have 29 000 for bad blocks

The patch only changes the threshold at which it starts notifying you
(which was very low and incorrect previously). 29.000 bad blocks
does sound like something you should start being concerned about,
though. Apparently your HDD still has enough spare blocks to cope, but
you should watch out whether this number increases over time. If it
rapidly does, consider getting a new HDD before you get serious data
loss.

2010-06-09 Thread Graham Inggs
 29.000 bad blocks does sound like something you should start being
concerned about, though.

The problem is that 29000 is the RAW value of the re-allocated sector
count, not the actual count of bad sectors.

I have a failing Seagate drive that I have been monitoring for several
weeks and I have established that on this particular drive, the lower
four bits of the RAW value are not part of the count.  Palimpsest tells
me this drive has 893 bad sectors, but I calculate that it only has 55.
Seagate will only replace the drive when it has around 160 bad sectors.

Right. But the notification about Your disk is about to die now
checks the normalized value/threshold, which is under control by the
driver manufacturer. Do you still get those notifications with the
current lucid or karmic-proposed packages?

2010-04-23 Thread Martin Pitt
Ugh, the karmic code is quite a bit different, so I basically needed to
implement the same logic for a rather different code base. It's working
now, though (see attached debdiff). The SRU test case (see description)
is working now, and I also run the old and new version against all the
blob examples which are in the source code:

  for i in blob-examples/*; do echo -- $i; ./skdump --load=$i; done

The diff between the old and new version is

I encountered this problem under Karmic on my 6 month old Dell Mini-9
with a 4 GB SSD. I zeroed the SSD with the dd command and installed
Lucid Beta 2. Within 30 seconds of the post install restart I was
getting the same error message. I loaded and installed all available
patches with software update utility but the problem persisited. I then
repeated the zero, install, and patch operation again with the same
results. At this point I went back to 9.04 and my Dell Mini-9 is again
working perfectly. The specific error message I am encountering is as

[Bug 438136] Re: palimpsest bad sectors false positive

2010-03-19 Thread Richard Gunn
I definitely have a false positive with my main drive (Hitachi), but
something else just occurred to me - when I tried install Karmic from
the live CD, it refused to recognize my Hitachi drive as a viable target
for installation. In the end, I was forced to upgrade from Intrepid to
Jaunty to Karmic using the dist upgrade option in synaptic.

I only discovered the false positive issue with palimpsest AFTER I had
upgraded to Karmic through synaptic, so in retrospect, I wander if some
sort of integrity check is done on the drive before the Karmic CD
installer lists it prior to partitioning, and whether this false
positive issue actually prevented me from installing Karmic from the
live CD onto my Hitachi hard drive.

If that is true, perhaps an additional issue should be added to the list
for the Karmic live CD?

I got a computer from a friend who said it was not working well.

As soon as I booted it with Live CD, I got the error of a disk failing.
I did a backup, but some of the files were unreadable, even though
S.M.A.R.T says the Read Error Rate is 0 (Raw 0x)

Reallocated sectors = 335 and Pending = 122.
Obviously the disk is not O.K, because of the read wailures, but shoudn't the 
read error rate be higher then?

In my case, the palimpsest gives reasonable figures and is working wery
fine =)

2010-03-05 Thread Christoph Buchner
I also see the same behaviour on a dual-boot (ubuntu 9.10 and winXP) hp 8530w 
laptop with a Hitachi drive. It suddenly appeared after defragging a shared 
ntfs data partition. My reallocation sector count is 65538, and the rest seems 
unremarkable to me (only reallocation event count is 1).
I attached screenshots of 3 different SMART tools i ran under windows (HDD 
health, CrystalDiskInfo, and the windows version of smartctl) to check the 
palimpsest output.
All programs agree about the current/normalised value and threshold (indicating 
nothing is amiss), but the reading of the raw value of the different programs 
is interesting (indicated in the screenshot). Remarkably, CrystalDiskInfo also 
cautions me about the Reallocated Sector count... 

so far i've come to the conclusion that it's a bug in the way the raw-
values of my hitachi drive are translated, but am i right? or is my
drive in fact dying, and should i replace it asap?

anything else i can post to help?

Is there any dev on this? 84 people affected, and copious user reports,
but not even an assignee? or does the assignment to redhat-bugs mean
it's going to be resolved there first?

@Oded Arbel : hmmm now that I am a little less irritable, I seem to
agree with your opinion. I have in fact been witnessing some cooling
problems lately, although I thought they were pertaining to the CPU
only, I didn't know or anticipate that they could be harming my hard
disk too, but now I guess I do, I will follow your lead and have it
checked out. It is just that I started to experience this only after I
upgraded to karmic and while searching I was seeing a lot of such
reports that made me feel it is something similar...Thanks.

Dhruva: the problem you are reporting sounds like you do have a problem
with the drive and libatasmart is reporting the issue correctly - so
this is not the issue that is reported in this bug.

Regarding your actual problem, as you had escalating problems with an
old drive and now have an escalating problem with a new drive, I would
guess that your problem is not the drive but something else. I don't
think the problem is that Ubuntu is corrupting the drive as it doesn't
seem likely that it has that capability and there is no one else with a
similar experience. I would think that you have another hardware problem
that causes disks to fail - either insufficient cooling or vibration
problems are the most likely issues. I suggest you contact someone with
appropriate knowledge to help you resolve this problem.

2010-03-03 Thread Dhruva Sagar
I am also facing the issue. I had an old SATA hard disk and once I upgraded to 
Karmic it started giving me hard disk failure errors. I tried to ignore them 
for a while, but slowly things deteriorated and soon half of my hard disk was 
rendered useless, even if I tried to format that partition Ubuntu would crash 
and drives would become read-only and I couldn't save / edit anything on the 
hard disk.
At times when rebooting it would say that no bootable media was found and that 
it was unable to mount the hard disk. I would restart go to GRUB and select 
another image to boot from and it would boot fine.

In anyways considering the kind of those errors I assumed that something
is indeed wrong with the hard disk. I went ahead and purchased a brand
new hard disk. (Toshiba), and installed karmic from scratch and
installed all my softwares and utilities that I needed for my
development setup all over again, took me almost a week. But good thing
was that the errors disappeared!

One month into that, and the errors have now reappeared. Ubuntu shows me
again that there are bad sectors and slowly but steadily they are
increasing! Ubuntu would hang suddenly at times and I would have to
reboot, go to the recovery console, it would be unable to mount my hard
disk and I would have to do a FSCK to repair some inodes and when I then
reboot and come back, I am able to boot normally but only to see that
the number of bad sector count has increased.

I have a terrible feeling that Ubuntu is somehow corrupting my hard
disk, I have no reason to believe that my 1 month old brand new hard
disk could have any problems whatsoever.

This is really pathetic! I have been an Ubuntu fan for over 4 years now
and have never looked back to windows. But this whole incident has left
me haunted. I can't afford to buy new hard disks every couple of months.
This is just not acceptable! Someone please do something. I beg you!

Bought a brand new WDC WD20EADS-00S2B0 2Tb and as soon as it was installed

Every time I boot a message pops up.

But you can tell the program to ignore it and not give advice.

I confirm the same problem palimpsest bad sectors false positive   on
Karmic and Lucid Alfa 3. Palimpsest ID errors number 5 and 197 reported
on my HD Samsung 1 Terabyte model HD103UJ. Meanwhile, no error is
reported on my second HD Hitachi 500 GB model HDT725050VLA360.

[Bug 438136] Re: palimpsest bad sectors false positive

2010-03-02 Thread Peter Petrakis
To get a definitive answer to whether the drive is actually remapping defects 
due
to bad blocks you have to examine the defect lists. It's easy to do on SCSI, I
expected libata to swizzle the cmd into ATA'ez but it apparently fails on my 
dell.

sg_reassign --grow /dev/sda

I don't know how to do it in ATA off the top of my head but I could find out. 
It's likely
accessible only through some SMART log page.

I agree with the assertion mentioned here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.utilities.smartmontools/5252

The reason being the drive firmware will remap to another block on write should
there be an error. Smart may be trying to be too smart by observing the block
re-allocation and coming to the conclusion that this is possible iif a write
error occured.

Here's a decent defintion of how defect tracking works:

This is not a minor thing, depending on harddrive and environment! If
you don't like warning messages turn disk notification off. This tiny
feature saved my data two times. Every time starting with a low
reallocated sector count. Two days later I had to remove the harddrives,
that were almost unusable.

2010-02-25 Thread b3t0n
I would like to recieve warnings, when something wrong is going on with
my hdd, but it isn't good when we recieve errors, that other software
doesn't diagnose. Of course we could say that other software isn't as
cautious as palimpsest is.

On the other hand, if palimpsest shows an error, other software doesn't
and my hdd works without any problems for another 12 months, then we
will learn not to trust this utility.

Maybe we should have this errors and warnings redesigned to show that
some bad things happened, they don't mean that hdd is going to explode
in 5 seconds, but we should be cautious, look for weird behaviour and
stuff, so we won't think that Palimsest is shouting wolf too many
times.

2010-02-25 Thread Oded Arbel
The problem with palimpsest isn't that there are warnings, or that there
aren't warnings (if we will make it less warning happy). I personally
would like to get a notification when my first reallocated sector
happens - and then I want to be able to ignore this until another
failure happens.

The problem is that with current palimpsest you can disable warnings
completely and manually check every once in a while if you got any new
reallocated sectors, or live with a constant warning sign on your
desktop that you have to manually check every once in a while to see if
you got any new reallocated sectors. So there isn't any difference and
we might as well drop palimpsest completely.

What I want is that when palimpsest shows a warning, I will have the
option of Don't bother me until there are more errors. Its that
simple.

i'm not the only one with a failing hdd.

gsmartcontrol gives me the same error (see the attachment).

I would rally appreciate if there's soon found an answer or a

Palimpset reports 65537 reallocated sectors, raw value is
0x01000100cf07.

Don't know how many reallocated sectors there really are, but I cannot
believe that the real value is coincidentally so close to 2^16.

[Bug 438136] Re: palimpsest bad sectors false positive

2009-12-30 Thread Stephen Boddy
For all those with very large counts of bad sectors (i.e. 1000) take a look at 
my comment here:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25772#c2

Basically it looks like the manufacturers are using the raw value in a
different way. i.e. the 48 bit value is likely split into 3 x 16bit
values that are least significant byte first. (It could be 6 x 8bit
values, but I suspect not, as 256 would probably be too low - anyone
know how many are normally made available for reallocations?)

From Jose Mirco's collection of Hitachi drives:
  0x01000F00 65551
  0x01000700 65543
  0x07002E00 458798
  0x05001100 327697
  0xB4001D00 1900724

This would tie up with my old IBM/Hitachi in my comment linked above.
The fact is that minus specs from manufacturers this raw value can
obviously not be relied upon, and to do so is a FAIL!

If I had to hazard a guess for the first of the ones above:
0100 = 0x0001 = 1: probably equals the event count of attribute 196.
0F00 = 0x000F = 15: is the number of bad sectors
i.e. there was one event where the disk found 15 bad sectors
The last one doesn't make so much sense though:
B400 = 0x00B4 = 180
1D00 = 0x001D = 29
i.e. there were 180 events where a total of 29 bad sectors were found?!? So 
perhaps we can't even rely on consistency within a brand.

2009-12-26 Thread Oliver Bedford
I'm getting a similar warning on my Dell Vostro 1310 with a Samsung
Drive.

Palimpsest reports something about drive failing and drive has many corrupt 
sectors. What it doesn't like is the number of the current pending sector. 
smartctl does not indicate any problem:

2009-12-22 Thread Martin Pitt
Jean-Louis, thank you for working on this patch! Would you mind
reporting it upstream at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=libatasmart so that
it can be intregrated upstream? It's pretty intrusive and also
potentially changes the behaviour of libatasmart clients (such as
devicekit-disks and gvfs), so we shouldn't carry this in Ubuntu only.
