Hi, |

|
| 3 |
after finding a bad sector on my hd (see previous thread) a read a lot |
| 4 |
stuff about SMART, smartctl and such to determine wether and how |
| 5 |
severe is a bad sector and how to cope with it. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
There is (at least ;) one thing I dont understand: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
On the one hand, the surface test (extended offline and such) aborts |
| 10 |
as soon the first read fgailure happens. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
On the other hand it is said: If the count of bad sectors increases |
| 13 |
over time it is time to change the hd. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
How can the second happen, if the first is true??? |
| 16 |

Best regards, |
