Re: Very Strange and Probably Obscure Problem

Bummer. I probably do have to replace the hard drive

Checked smartd again. The service was disabled even though I explicitly enabled it. And once I brought it online again, I immediately got

WARNING: Your hard drive is failing
Device: /dev/sdb [SAT], 2 Offline uncorrectable sectors

That was the same error I got before I ran the maintenance procedure.

Time to burn a clonezilla cd

arrrgh.
