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

# 2  Short offline       Completed: read failure       60%      4449

# 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...

Many thanks for your help,
