Hi, yesterday my linux machine gave me some smartd errors so i checked
the disk in another machine and it had defective sectors, I installed
a new hard disk on the original machine.
Today this is being reported in logwatch.
I have a Maxtor (200gig) as hda, a cdrom as hdc and another hard disk
that is used for storage as hdd. All plain IDE (not sata)

If two disk drives are reporting errors, I would start to wonder if the controller isn't at fault. The SMART self test should help with isolating the faulty component.

The 'controller' that is throwing the error is actually on the drive; more than likely this string of errors is a drive failure. Try another drive first, then check your cables (cable problems can do this too), then check your motherboard. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu
