I expect the smart data is reporting sectors marked bad in testing and
formatting up before it was sold. All media has some bad sectors that are
never used.
Is there a way to tell smart daemon to ignore the bad sector list
that comes from the manufacturer?
smartd keep reporting:
messages:Jun 19 16:16:39 localhost smartd[1378]: Device: /dev/sdb [SAT],
128 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors
messages:Jun 19 16:16:39 localhost smartd[1378]: Device: /dev/sdb [SAT],
128 Offline uncorrectable sectors
yet I am not seeing any apps reporting read/write errors to this drive.
