OK, in the category of what you do NOT want to see, I present the following: I had some significant problems with read speed on this drive when it was living in my macbook, but it wouldn't fail a smart test, and I had little time to drill down as much as I wanted, so I cleared everything off and tried to preclear. I thought it would be a good test, and would maybe clear out some bad sectors or whatever, wouldn't be up to array snuff, but certainly sufficient for a non-array drive or random traveling drive, what-have-you. The first preclear for this 1TB drive took almost 77 hours. The report is attached below. I did that back in July, then moved on to bigger and better things, returning last night to try it again, after, for some reason, the sectors pending reallocation jumped up to 24. It's just been sitting there not doing anything in a drive tray for a month or so, not sure how that happened, but perhaps the bits, like the smurfs, decided to all band together and solve their problems. So I cleared it again. Oops. I don't even know what the hell happened to this thing, I think it actually tried to open the tray and leave the case. I'll let you all decide, but I can't quite make out what the problem is from the syslog, and the preclear report is decidedly less than helpful, as you'll see below! Of particular fear to me are these warnings about md12...I didn't clear md12!! As it happens, I didn't clear sdh either... If any kind soul needs further information from me, as always, please let me know. Thanks for reading, and unless you live in AK or HI, fear not, Monday is almost over! None too soon, by the way, what with all the positivity in here today (what is emoticon for awkward cringe?). Pengrus Archive.zip
