"Pre-fail" is the type of attribute in SMART, not the status of your particular drive. When a pre-fail attribute rises unusually or reaches a threshold, it's a sign that the drive will die in a very short time period (as small as 24 hours).
Contrast this to "old-age" attributes which can reach the threshold, but the drive may continue to function for an indeterminate time. -- 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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
