Re: S.M.A.R.T. shows obviously wrong attribute!

Can you please provide full output from "smartctl -a {drive}"? Please don't use a front-end for this request -- I'd like to see the full, verbose output. I can help from that point going forward. (Wow, I sound like a CSR or something...)

And no, you cannot reset data stored in SMART. The only data that's possible to reset -- and only on very specific models of specific vendor drives -- is the SMART error log.
Upon a second look, it appears that the number of sectors that have been reallocated would make up a 4 PB (4,000 TB) hard drive, when my drive is only 160 GB! I just assumed the number would match the sector count of the entire drive, since it was so large, and should technically be at 0.

Here is the entire output of smartclt -a /dev/sda:


I ran all 3 tests, and they all passed. Even the "Reallocated Sector Count" claims to have no issues, which contradicts the raw value of 8589934592000.

GSmartControl says "NOTICE: This drive has a non-zero raw value, but there is no SMART warning yet. This could be an indication of future failures and/or potential data loss in bad sectors."

Here is where another problem lies. If I am to accept that this is just a glitch in the calculation, and that I do not have any bad/reallocated sectors, then what about in the future? How would I ever be able to use smartctl to know when my drive has reallocated some bad sectors? (A sign that the drive is failing.)
