There is (or was) a hardware issue if the drive was returning a media error ("ata1.00: error: { UNC }"). The fact that the SMART response is giving conflicting information (a pending reallocation, but no errors, and now zero reallocations) is an even stronger indication of a confused/broken drive. I'd definitely run it through a stress test before trusting any important data to it. -jim |
