Note that the overall SMART health status is near useless. What you
should do is look at the disk error log :
# smartctl -l error /dev/sda
and run a short and/or long self test (short is couple of mins, long is
typically 1 to 2 hours):
# smartctl -t long /dev/sda
# smartctl -t short /dev/sda
Results of the self test after completion:
# smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda
You may want to do this from a live CD if your system is really unstable.
