SMART attributes: dead hard disk ?

Yeah, I think you're right Peter.

I've been meaning to look up what the numbers mean in a
smartd log 
message. I generally see stuff like this:

     Usage: Seek_Time_Performance (8) changed to 91
     Usage: Temperature_Celsius (194) changed to 154, 163,
169

but I certainly hope my drive isn't 169 degrees Celsius!

It's probably in the man page somewhere, but I've been too
lazy to look 
it up. I just hope that the smartd devs were nice enough to
make the 
message of an actual imminent failure quite alarming.
