Re: [smartmontools-support] how to fix F4EG/HD204UI badblocks

[Rich <rin...@gm...>]

If you can blank the entire drive and it doesn't change, I don't think
you're going to convince it to change.

You'd probably want some filter that whitelisted this value and notified if
it changed, rather than notifying on strictly nonzero.
