Hard drive failing?
 

Hi My 1.5 TB WD HDD has 384 bad sectors according to "fsck.ext4 -cvf
/dev/x" Is this bad? Since last year October the HDD has been very
slow to browse the folders.

Probably, yes. The output of dmesg and smartctl -a /dev/x would be
helpful. In any case, you should quickly backup everything valuable
on that device.

Best regards,

Mmm... hard to tell :-?

Run "smartctl" (long test mode) and send the report to the list.

smartctl --xall will tell you everything and then some. If it doesn't
work, use smartctl -a.

You probably also want to use "-d sat" on all smartctl commands if it is
an directly attached ATA device (i.e. not USB, and not connected through
a hardware RAID card).

Get a new disk, transfer all the important data you still can (or
restore from backups), secure erase, and send it in for replacement if
it is still in warranty.

Is that "-d sat" needed anymore? I think that these days it is always
automatically detected and so isn't required. If it isn't present it
makes a notation in the log file that it has switched it on as a
debugging aid. But that isn't considered a problem these days. I
expect that a future version will remove the debugging statement.

Sometimes it is. I don't recall where I needed it, but I think it was on a
SATA disk connected to a SAS HBA.
