Smartd message: What does it mean?

[Daniel B. Thurman]

Hmmm...  or does it mean I need to completely
reformat or fsck this disk throughly to ensure
that it is really going bad?  I am using FC4
so I wonder if there is another reason...

I will have to chek this out.

It means you have 14 bad sectors on your /dev/hdb hard drive. It also 
means it is time to buy another drive and copy your data over to it.
