I have followed this issue close since I also experiences problems with the reallocated sector count. My count has been growing ever since I installed Ubuntu on my machine and the current count is 3345 reallocated sectors.
Today I rebooted my machine and the computer BIOS reported that a reported number from the hard disk was high. It was not more specific but it is evidence enough for me that I should trust the number reported by palimpsest. The BIOS did not report any problems before so I guess it reached some threshold. We were five people installing Ubuntu on identical machines with identical disks bought at the same time a couple of months ago, two people are having errors reported by palimpsest. I will replace my disk ASAP. -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
