I get a warning every time I boot Karmic that one of my drives (of which I only have one) is failing, but smartmontools disagrees:

It is pretty disconcerting to have that error message in your face when you first boot your machine though. -- Karmic incorrectly states that my Eee SSD drive is failing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/416558 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
