    is this drive bad?

    it randomly locks up during high access situations, its slow to boot,slow to access, and the and the reallocated sector count is through the roof as seen in the pic, so should i clone the disk or is it ok?

    You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

    Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

    double check that. make sure it's an actual value, use hdat2 or smartctl

    If that is the actual value, you have a failing drive. I don't know how it managed to survive that long, backup data!!!

    Once you back up data, then you can try cloning the disk, my guess is and I have done this before with a failing toshiba drive using clonezilla, that it will most likely throw device not ready or failed to read errors and won't be clone-able.

        only 2 bad sectors so the drive is ok? also the uncorrectable error rate it through the roof at 1932752060422 errors as reported by smartctl, is that bad?

          sounds like it might have a bad board/cache

            it is shot/dying either way.. If there's something important on there i'd use ddrescue to get it, as it'll get everything it can if there are ungettable sectors on the disk.

              all the bad sectors are in the swap partition so all the data is intact. i hope

                Reallocated + Pending sectors = "Bad" Sectors

                0 = OK
                1-10 = Keep an eye on it
                11-50 = Don't use it for anything important (swap or whatever probably OK)
                51+ = Back up IMMEDIATELY and do not use

                (In my opinion, anyway)

                Might not be the drive, not good if it is.

                I would turn that drive into a speaker or something.

                  didn’t clone. so i grabbed a list of software installed with this command
                  Code:
                  $ dpkg --get-selections > /ihopethisworks/software.list
                  and copy my whole homedir to the new home-partition then re-installed my os'es. *sigh* now i have to go thru the tedius process of adding repository back. ah well at least it wasn’t RAID
                  heck it wasnt 5 minuts after i copied my homdir that i was getting a "drive inaccessible" error.

                  thanks everybody for your help you saved my but.
