There are some "how to read smartcl results" articles there. For example:

Linux Harddisk Monitoring with SmartMonTools (smartctl)

Monitoring Hard Disks with SMART
http://www.linuxjournal.com/magazine/monitoring-hard-disks-smart

BTW, I keep smartmontools daemon running and monitoring the disks status.

Greetings,

I have started smartd by uncommenting the line in /etc/smartd.conf and /etc/default/smartmontools :

# First (primary) ATA/IDE hard disk.  Monitor all attributes, enable
# automatic online data collection, automatic Attribute autosave, and
# start a short self-test every day between 2-3am, and a long self test
# Saturdays between 3-4am.
/dev/hda -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03)

# uncomment to start smartd on system startup
start_smartd=yes

I will look into the links provided by you. thanks Camaleón for the links and reminding me to start smart daemon.

A reallocated event count of 132 doesn't look good.
This is showing a sector that it couldn't correct the errors on, and would have been reported back to the operating system as an I/O error.

You've never completed an extended offline test, try "smartctl -t long /dev/hda", and check the results after 30 minutes with "smartctl -a /dev/hda".  At the beginning of the output, you can see if the test has completed yet next to the "Self-test execution status" field.  After the test completes, the results will be near the end of the output, under "SMART Self-test log".**



the output of the fdisk :

I have tested the disk with the command provided by you but the errors that cannot be corrected are bothering me. I will do some online search possibly with the key-words and anything suprising pops up I will post here. key-words : HTS541040G9AT00+smartctl+errors. The results of the long test are given below. I am using IBM Thinkpad R51 2887-MQ5 laptop.

Long test one [1] [ there was a power cut in the middle of the command execution ] :
pastebin.com/B2ASzjSu   [ the link is valid for one month ]

Long test two [2] [ this time there is no power cut and closed all the applications ] :
pastebin.com/vZ6kgjzu    [ the link is valid for one month ]


thanks for your time,
vishnuvardhan.
