[smartmontools-support] Fujitsu Drive Odd Attribute Values

[AnimeNeko L. <li...@an...>]

When checking my Fujitsu drive with smartctl, I noticed some really odd 
values being returned. Specifically, attribute 5 (Reallocated_Sector_Ct) 
  seems awfully high, although many of the others seem unrealistic. Is 
that a known issue with this brand?

For details, this drive is in an HP Pavilion dv5 notebook (specifically 
the dv5-1235dx) with the Intel ICH9M/M-E controller.

Output from smartctl is below (sorry for the line wrapping)
