Hi Guys
I'm having more and more issues with my harddrive (I think). My machine
seems to freeze for short periods of time for no apparent reason.
Looking at the syslog, there appears to be an issue with my hard drive.
It's only a few months old so I'm quite surprised about this.
Here's an extract from syslog:

I ran the disk utility and found these two items highlight:
5. Reallocated Sector Count - 140 sectors
Count of remapped sectors. When the hard drive finds a
read/write/verification error, it marks the sector as "reallocated" and
transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area)
197. Current Pending Sector Count - 64 sectors
Number of sectors waiting to be remapped. If the sectors waiting to be
remapped is subsequently written or read successfully, the value is
decreased and the sector is not remapped. Read errors on the sector
will not remap the sector, it will only be remapped on a failed write
attempt.
Anything I can do to improve the situation? Unfortunately, replacing
the harddrive at this stage is not an option.
Regards
Charl
