I have a fairly new SATA disk with about 3000 hours of 24/7 duty (very light load), 0 remapped sectors and 8 consecutive sectors with read/write errors.

For whatever reason, remapping not always works (or mine was produced with a total of zero remapping sectors=E2=80=A6). - Matthias -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" = in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
