Last night I received an email saying:
The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:
Device: /dev/hda, ATA error count increased from 0 to 3
I ran two "smartctl -t long /dev/hda" checks within the 12 hours or so since then, here is the output of 'smartctl -a /dev/hda':
Code:

Selective self-test flags (0x0):
After scanning selected spans, do NOT read-scan remainder of disk.
If Selective self-test is pending on power-up, resume after 0 minute delay.
Does anyone know why this would happen? Should I buy a new drive and get rid of this one, or is it just a false alarm?
