[smartmontools-support]SEAGATE ST336753LC - Non-medium error count

[Anders N. <ani...@di...>]

We have 3 boxes each with 8 seagates drives on a adaptec 2200s raid
controller. On one the boxes I am seeing wierd timeout problems causing
the raid array to hang.

My theory is that a bad drive is causing the problem, so I attached the
drives to a scsi controller and did a smartctl -a. One of the drives had
"Non-medium errors". What does this mean? Could it be the source of my
problems.

Output is below.

Btw. the article in Linux Journal made me aware of this very cool tool.
Too bad it doesn't work with the aacraid driver.

Thanks in advance :-)
