Ok, I saw more sectors on a drive yesterday, so this morning, no one was running on it, and I took it out of use, then bounced it onto a DVD, and ran fsck -c (check for bad blocks). It finished. I bounce the server.
And SMARTD reports the sectors as "currently unreadable (pending) sectors", and "offline uncorrectable sectors".
Does smartd cache its info somewhere, or is it reading what fsck already marked as bad? And this has happened before, under 5.3, and under continuing current updates of 5.4....
