[Linux-disciples] SMART error (OfflineUncorrectableSector) detected on host: JeffTweedy (fwd)

[Stephen R Laniel]

I've had what appears to be my first really serious SMART
error. Can someone who's run into one before tell me what to
do with this? How do I fix it? (Last 100 lines in syslog
matching 'smartd' below.)
