possible hardware failure ?

[Claudiu]

I have also checked the SMART state of the driver with smartctl, it 
looks like this:

ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME          FLAG     VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE

This does not look very encouraging, but seems to be in reasonable limits.
I have 2 drivers, and I am using vinum for mirroring. Both are in 
similar situation.
Should I trust both of them until the SMART attributes are closer to to 
the WORST case ?


Best regards,
