Device: /dev/sda [SAT], 8 Offline uncorrectable sectors Smartctl tells me the problem is at LBA 2014551336 (this is a 2TB disk)
sounds bad
Here's the question: If I just reformat and restore /home from a recent backup, will the disk automatically deal with the sectors pending reallocation?
REALLY: throw away the disk and do not restore backups to it
be thankful that you got warned instead lsoe the disk from one moment to another and replace it
It's a brand new computer, and there are only 8 bad sectors so far. Throwing away the disk seems a bit harsh at this point. It might be time to call Gateway and see if I can get it replaced under warranty, but I doubt they'd do it for only 8 sectors on a 2TB disk.
so what
i had last year a vrand new computer with 4x2 TB server grade disks as RAID10 and the first dies completly after 5 days with never come back to read any sector
if a disk on a brand new computer has any single bad sector the manufacturer has to replace it and yes most disks are dying at the very first begin or they run for years
