The smartd daemon (Fedora Rawhide) is starting to indicate that the

sectors
These have been occurring over the past few days on my (~3 year old)
A31p Thinkpad. My first take is that the system is trying to tell me
that it is time to replace the hard drive. Before ordering a new
drive, I figured I'd bounce this off the lists for second opinions.
