** Description changed:
Binary package hint: gnome-disk-utility
palimpsest complains, that the disk has many bad sectors. palimpsest
thinks, that SMART value 5 "Reallocated Sector Count" fails (screenshot
attached). smartctl reports " 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0033 097
097 010 Pre-fail Always - 117" (full log attached)
which seems to be ok. This error appears on a different system, too.
+
+ SRU TEST CASE:
+ - Download seb128's demo SMART data which have a few bad blocks, but not enough to be over the manufacturer threshold:
+
+ wget -O /tmp/smart.blobl
+ http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=34234
+
+ - Install libatasmart-bin
+
+ - Run
+
+ skdump --load=/tmp/smart.blob --overall
+
+ With the karmic final version this says "BAD_SECTOR_MANY" which the GUI will react on with a scary notification.
+ The updated version should just say BAD_SECTOR.
+
+ If you leave out the --overall argument, you get a detailled list of the
+ attributes. The broken ones will be printed in bold.
+
+ On a healthy system, "sudo ./skdump /dev/sda --overall" should still
+ say "GOOD", and on a genuinely broken hard disk it should give the
+ appropriate BAD_SECTOR/BAD_SECTOR_MANY answer.
