GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 587459
Let user acknowledge and get rid of notifications until things get worse
Last modified: 2012-11-12 20:45:17 UTC
About a month ago a friend of mine dropped my laptop from a little height which resulted in 2 bad sectors. I've installed g-d-u a week ago and since then it has warned me about 14 times (I am forced to login twice a day) that my disk is going to die soon. The number constantly shows 2 damaged sectors. To sum things up: 2 sectors for a month, no further damage over time, smart reports successful relocation and data is intact. I don't think I'm not going to replace the disk any time soon. I'd like to get rid of the warning until something bad happens again as otherwise I'll likely get used to the warnings and just ignore them. Even if a meteor hits the HD plate and half of the mechanism evaporates. I'd like to know when that happens though :)
