I have this problem as well, which was quite alarming just after I'd installed 9.10 on my laptop. It's a Dell Inspiron 1525n that I've had a little over a year -- and Palimpsest counts 858 bad sectors. The reallocated sectors count is 68295.
The drive is a ~120Gb Samsung HM121HI. I highly doubt that this drive has seen that much wear in the last year, and I don't really have the money to replace it at this time, so I'm wondering what's going on. -- palimpsest bad sectors false positive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/438136 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
