Same here on my fresh Karmic installation (x86_64), using a Seagate Barracuda ST31500341AS. I also tried the 32 bit version of Karmic and got the the same results.
I ran SeaTools for Windows' Long Generic test' to confirm that the drive was OK and it passed the test (see attached log file) so I guess it is indeed a false positive. ** Attachment added: "9VS0S1Q1.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/34666118/9VS0S1Q1.log -- palimpsest bad sectors false positive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/438136 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-disk-utility in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
