[smartmontools-support] Finding LBA for unreadable (pending) sector when selftest passes

[Sam T. <sa...@tr...>]

Hello all.  I seem to have a bad sector on my disk.  I see this in
/var/log/messages:

   smartd[1928]: Device: /dev/hda, 1 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors

I'm trying to follow the BadBlockHowTo.txt instructions to deal with
it.  However, the first step won't work for me - my disk always passes
the self-tests with flying colors!  I've tried "short" and "extended"
self tests and all I get is "Completed without error".

Any idea what's going on here?  Is there some other way I can get the
LBA of the failing sector?

I'm running Fedora Core 5, 2.6.18 kernel, smartctl v5.36.  Let me know
if you need more information from me - I didn't want to spam the list
with my complete smartctl output if that's not going to be helpful.

Thanks!
