LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] what's this? [34984.626747] blk_partition

I am currently checking a HDD via USB using gparted, it has been going on for some time now, aproxx 4 hrs, but it is a 1tb hdd. the windows have gone greyed out.

I just checked dmesg then redirected it a file and the file is noting but

Code:

[34984.626702] blk_partition_remap: fail for partition 1

[34984.626714] blk_partition_remap: fail for partition 1

[34984.626717] blk_partition_remap: fail for partition 1

[34984.626728] blk_partition_remap: fail for partition 1

[34984.626731] blk_partition_remap: fail for partition 1

[34984.626741] blk_partition_remap: fail for partition 1

then looking through it I found this then it goes back to the other message

Code:

so does someone think this is related, and what does it mean, hdd going bad or what?

if I reboot the system while gparted is running will that destroy the hdd / data while it is running check on it?
