Hi, I have installed smartmontools using Fink and the result of the short test is : gslc12|charles|$ smartctl -l selftest /dev/disk0 smartctl version 5.33 [powerpc-apple-darwin8.10.0] Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1 Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error # 1 Short offline Completed: read failure 60% 4449 2865202 # 2 Short offline Completed: read failure 60% 4449 2865202 # 3 Offline Aborted by host 70% 0 - Is there a risk of damaging further the disk by performing a long test? There is some non-backuped data on this disk, and although I can afford losing it, I would prefer not...
