Hi, yesterday my linux machine gave me some smartd errors so i checked the disk in another machine and it had defective sectors, I installed a new hard disk on the original machine. Today this is being reported in logwatch. I have a Maxtor (200gig) as hda, a cdrom as hdc and another hard disk that is used for storage as hdd.
