[nmglug] smartd errors??

[Tim Emerick]

Has anybody ever experienced smartd errors?  If so, what did you do?

I have a new 200GB hard drive that seems to be throwing errors.  Probably
under warranty.  I don't understand them though.  Two lines keep showing up
in /var/log/syslog.  I've put the pertinent syslog lines and the smartctl
output at the end of this email.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

debian:/var/log# tail syslog | grep smartd
Apr  7 01:00:14 localhost smartd[1744]: Device: /dev/hde, 131 Currently
unreadable (pending) sectors
Apr  7 01:00:14 localhost smartd[1744]: Device: /dev/hde, 133 Offline
uncorrectable sectors

And a smartctl returns this:

debian:/var/log# smartctl -l error /dev/hde
