Is My Drive Dying

I've seen a couple of occurrences of this recently for ata2.  Is it something I should start worrying about, and what's the best thing I can do to check further:

I did also see it once, for ata3, but that only spat out one set of messages, and didn't end with the read error messages:

BTW.  This is running beta7, and the drives are all WDC_WD20EADS.

 

Cheers.

disk2 has reported some un-readable sectors which it is reporting as: UNC (un-correctable media errors)

 

Get a smart report for disk2.  It will let you know of the health of the drive. 

smartctl -a /dev/sdc

 

Odds are you'll see some re-allocated sectors, or sectors pending re-allocation.

 

Did you pre-clear that disk using the preclear_disk.sh script? (just curious)

No, unfortunately I didn't run preclear.  :-[
