If I open Palimpsest and view the SMART details for the disk, the only failing attribute is "Reallocated Sector Count". The current and worst values are 199, while the threshold is 140. My understanding of SMART is that something is failing only if the values are lower than the threshold, so my disk shouldn't be reported as failing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-disk-utility-0.3-1.fc11.i586 DeviceKit-003-1.i586 DeviceKit-disks-004-2.fc11.i586 How reproducible: Every time I log in. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log into GNOME. 2. "Disk is failing" dialog appears. Actual results: Disk reported as failing. Expected results: Disk not reported as failing. Additional info: The disk as a WDC WD800BB-00CAA1. I'll attach screenshots of Palimpsest and the output of smartctl -a /dev/sda, which doesn't report the disk as failing.

Btw, Palimpsest is not using smartctl - it is (indirectly) using libatasmart which is more picky than smartctl is - e.g. just a single bad sector will trigger this warning.

@mibo: I have the same issue with my eeePC 701 4G on karmic 9.10 unr and the beta2 of lucid 10.04 and confirm that after a suspend and resume the gnome-disk-utility reports that the solid state disk will fail soon and should replaced. The icon in the panel shows DISK IS BEING USED OUTSIDE DESIGN PARAMETERS I can reproduce it: 1. Turn on the eeePC and booting up unr 10.04 beta2 2. run Disk Utility and click SMART Data and after this click Refresh - all is ok - no errors reported. 3. close the Disk Utility 4. suspend the pc - power led is blinking 5. after a moment resume the eeepc (powerbutton) - after 2 or 3 second the eeepc is up and running 6. run Disk Utility and click SMART Data and after this click Refresh - error comes up and reporting disk will fail soon (screenshot) 7. after rebooting the system all is fine again! No errors If Disk Utility reports the error there are red marked attributes (32, 50, 73 and 84), but they are not in the list before the error occures! Mybe this is the issue? There also additional attributes (16 and 52) which are marked as good. In all these attributes is No description for attribute xy. I think there is no error on the solid state disk, but the system reports some attributes which are not defined in the Disk Utility.

But that is not a solution , since this would probably prevent the notification when the disk is really failing. This is really a statistical problem. Computer programmers shouldn't argue. The thing is, it's very much like earthquake prediction. If you predict an earthquake in San Francisco often enough, eventually you'll be right.The San Andreas fault is there, and eventually it's going to let go.The same with everyone's disk drives.However, it's really not a good idea to warn San Francisco every month when it might be 50 years until the next big earthquake. People who predict earthquakes have understood the problem and don't issue predictions because they know they cannot predict well enough to be useful. People who predict disk drives should do the same. If you read the actual research papers on the subject, they come to that conclusion. The trouble is that if you are predicting an event that doesn't happen very often, you can be in a difficult situation where (a) You know the event is much more likely than normal, and (b) the event is still very improbable. So, for instance with disk drives, the average probability of failure is about 1 in a thousand per month: 0.1% per month.If you look at the SMART information, you can sometimes tell that this disk drive is, perhaps, 5 times more likely to fail than normal. But that's _still_ _small_.It's still 0.5% per month. So, even after certain indicators of failure happen, there might still be less than a 1% chance that the disk drive will fail soon.In that case, the best thing to do is to remain silent. Why? Because if someone listens to the warning, and acts on it, the cost will be relatively large. Whereas the probability of failure is still relatively small. If you really have your heart tied to this software, if you really love it like your first child, and you really don't want it disabled, then the thing to do is to minimize the damage it causes. In that case do the following: Change the warning message from Your disk is failing to Back up your data: SMART predicts a larger-than-normal chance of disk failure. -- gnome-disk-utility nags me too much that my disk is failing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/412152 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-disk-utility in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 412152] Re: gnome-disk-utility nags me too much that my disk is failing
Alan,
Can you see what in the list is claimed as failing? If not, that's a
problem in and of itself -- I hate idiot light reports. Tell the user
WHAT is wrong, not just that something is wrong.
As you note, It should not be the sectors, at least not from
libatasmart4, given the presence of:
+/* We use log2(n_sectors) as a threshold here. We had to pick
+ * something, and this makes a bit of sense, or doesn't it? */
+sector_threshold = u64log2(d-size/512);
+
+if (sectors = sector_threshold) {
+*overall = SK_SMART_OVERALL_BAD_SECTOR_MANY;
+return 0;
+}
+}
and the fact that you don't have any marked as failing. Lennart
Poettering seems to be entirely pragmatic and willing to adjust, so
let's just see if we can find out exactly what is being complained
about, and tweak that too, as necessary.
I don't get errors on either of my 500GB drives, but I'll check my older
SATA drives to see if they have any. That would make it easier for me
to track down.

I don't think that this is helpful I don't understand what it's trying to say, so it's basically useless to me, but that's not my problem, my problem is that I don't know how can I easily disable it. This tool reported every drive to be defective, even the one that was only run for 30 days. The strange thing is that I have yet to experience any data loss or other problems, so I believe that this tool is extremely inaccurate. If this tool is so inaccurate, how come it's enabled by default anyway? If this only works correctly for some drives why does it checks drives that it can't scan correctly. I recommend disabling this tool by default and putting an option for enabling it it the system settings, otherwise it will really annoy users and wast their CPU cycles of course. -- gnome-disk-utility nags me too much that my disk is failing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/412152 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-disk-utility in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
