Package: gnome-disk-utility Version: 2.28.1-3 Severity: normal
I just rebooted my machine after months and had a window pop up telling me one of my disks had a SMART error reported. It says DISK HAS MANY BAD SECTORS, and reports the reallocated sector count as follows: Normalized: 191 Worst: 191 Threshold: 140 Value: 72 sectors After going to the disk manufacturer and reading up on SMART, it looks to me like normalized values are better going up and worse going down. So by that account, 191 is not perfect but is still reasonable since it is above 140. As far as I can tell, the drive manufacturer thinks the drive is still good. That suggests that the utility may be complaining because the raw value is below the threshold rather than using the normalized one? -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-disk-utility depends on: ii libatasmart4 0.17+git20100219-1 ATA S.M.A.R.T. reading and parsing ii libatk1.0-0 1.28.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.8-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.20-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.84-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.11-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgdu-gtk0 2.28.1-3 GTK+ standard dialog library for l ii libgdu0 2.28.1-3 GObject based Disk Utility Library ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-keyring0 2.28.2-1 GNOME keyring services library ii libgtk2.0-0 2.18.6-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libnautilus-extension 2.28.4-1 libraries for nautilus components ii libnotify1 [libnotify 0.4.5-1 sends desktop notifications to a n ii libpango1.0-0 1.26.2-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libunique-1.0-0 1.1.6-1 Library for writing single instanc ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime gnome-disk-utility recommends no packages. gnome-disk-utility suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
