Is this drive failing?

Posted by LinuxRigs, 09-13-2007, 02:01 AM

Just got this server setup, getting some smart errors. Here's a copy of the trouble ticket I posted to the host, they said "If you read through the documentation for smartd you will find that from the results you pasted, your hard disk passed every test. We can give you another hard disk if you want but we will have to charge you 3 credits for the reinstall of the operating system." I could be wrong, maybe everything's fine, but the fact that there are unreadable sectors reported has me a little worried.

Hi LinuxRigs Get the hdd replaced at the DC's/providers cost. It should be a perfect hdd, not a half dead piece of hardware. I wouldn't buy some dodgy hardware classed as new, neither should you.
