Good evening, I have an IBM X31 laptop (Debian testing, kernel 2.6.8.1) and I've encountered the same type of problem. I get two messages every hour about an unreadable sector, Sep 22 20:20:24 localhost smartd[3205]: Device: /dev/hda, 1 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors but the most recent tests say "Completed without error." I thought when that happened, these messages would stop. gautama:/home/bxf4# smartctl -l selftest /dev/hda smartctl version 5.32 Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1 Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error # 1 Short offline Completed without error 00% 3616 # 2 Short offline Completed without error 00% 3582 # 3 Short offline Completed without error 00% 3568 # 4 Short offline Completed without error 00% 3566 # 5 Extended offline Completed without error 00% 3564 # 6 Short offline Completed without error 00% 3555 # 7 Extended offline Completed without error 00% 3547 # 8 Short offline Completed without error 00% 3535 # 9 Short offline Completed without error 00% 3509 #10 Short offline Completed without error 00% 3483 #11 Extended offline Aborted by host 90% 3480 #12 Short offline Completed without error 00% 3480 #13 Short offline Completed without error 00% 3452 #14 Short offline Completed without error 00% 3438 #15 Extended offline Completed: read failure 50% 3430 48992649 #16 Short offline Completed without error 00% 3423 #17 Short offline Completed without error 00% 3402 #18 Short offline Completed without error 00% 3393 #19 Short offline Completed without error 00% 3349 #20 Short offline Completed without error 00% 3328 #21 Short offline Completed without error 00% 3315 I've tried following the instructions in the BadBlocksHowTo (http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/BadBlockHowTo.txt) a couple times and I always get "block not found" as well. But here is where I am confused. 48992649 (hex, above) is 1,217,996,361 in decimal (according to gcalctool). But that number is a 10 digit number and I don't have that many sectors on the disk! The last sector is 72,001,439. Here's my partition table: gautama:/home/bxf4# fdisk -lu /dev/hda Disk /dev/hda: 36.8 GB, 36868450816 bytes 240 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4762 cylinders, total 72008693 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 63 19535039 9767488+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 19535040 21682079 1073520 a0 IBM Thinkpad hibernation /dev/hda3 21682080 24524639 1421280 82 Linux swap /dev/hda4 24524640 72001439 23738400 5 Extended /dev/hda5 24524703 25507439 491368+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 25507503 25900559 196528+ 83 Linux /dev/hda7 25900623 45435599 9767488+ 83 Linux /dev/hda8 45435663 72001439 13282888+ 83 Linux What am I doing incorrectly or misunderstanding?

There is no 0x before it. Earlier releases DID use hex. Cheers, Bruce |
