so, to sketch my setup, a raid 5 array which is controlled by a H700 has one drive of which smartd says it has a bad sector, but when I scan the array in the controller's settings, it shows healthy. The array only contains backups. What notification should I believe?

Code:
   host name:  pve2
   DNS domain: local

The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:

Device: /dev/bus/0 [megaraid_disk_00] [SAT], 1 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors

Device info:
WDC WD20EFRX-68EUZN0, S/N:WD-WCC4M*******, WWN:5-0014ee-21*******, FW:82.00A82, 2.00 TB

any help would be greatly appreciated.

kind Regards,
Jurgen
 
SMART-Status und "healthy" are two different metrics. You may have to manually look at the errors counter with megacli (or whatever version you've installed) and check for non-zero error counters. We had many pre-disk-failures with "other errors" that took a couple of months to "evolve" into media errors.

Thanks for your reply, I checked with megacli64 and none of the drives have any Media Errors or Other Errors: either the raid controller is not picking the error up or it is intermittend and fixed itself somehow?
