SMART error and K3B issues

[Jean-Rene Cormier]

Hi,

I have 2 things here that are bugging me a little bit, first one is I'm
starting to get some SMART errors in my logs. Just a bunch of these:

Device: /dev/hda, 1 Offline uncorrectable sectors 

Should I be worried that my HD is gonna die soon?


Also second issue I have is with K3B, whenever it finishes to burn a DVD
I get an error saying that growisofs didn't finish cleanly and the log
don't say that anything is wrong.

Here's what the k3b log looks like:

And also when burning Video DVDs it doesn't use the -dvd-video option
and the DVD is then unreadable as a video DVD, I can read the data off
of it but it's not being recognized as a video DVD. Anybody ever had any
issues like these?

TIA
