I know this is already clsoed, but I believe there may be more in-depth design
faults at play here. Just to be clear: does this translation error cause
spurious SMART errors for users via KDE Info Center (despite nothing being
wrong with their HDD)?
I get this "error", but AFAIK there is nothing wrong with my SMART data on the
"affected" disk, as reported by smartctl. The HDD isn't even old (by SMART
metrics or my shopping receipt date). But maybe I'm wrong?
IMHO it is very bad practice to make a monitoring application which makes
spurious alerts with as strong as wordings as this one, or alerts which don't
point to any logs or more information as to what is wrong. In this case it
causes unbased worries for users, or in worst case, people changing working
hardware; or losing trust on "alerts" (wrong alerts cause correct alerts to not
cause reaction on end-users).
The application should have a "more info" -button to show the output it thinks
is the cause for these "early signs of malfunction".
