After doing some research, this is what I have found: Command "iostat -E" returns, among other things, a count of "hard errors." If this count is greater than zero, it is time to retire the disk.
There are two other fields, "soft errors" and "transport errors." What is not clear is what action to take if any of these counts are greater than 0. Do we just ignore them? Or, is there any heuristic such as if soft errors is greater than 5, it is time to replace the disk? Thank you in advance for your help.
