Smartd message: What does it mean?

[Daniel B. Thurman]

Hi Folks,

Trying to understand this message, any ideas?

This email was generated by the smartd daemon running on:

   host name: xxx.xxx.com
  DNS domain: xxx.com
  NIS domain: (none)

The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:
Device: /dev/hdb, 14 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors
For details see host's SYSLOG (default: /var/log/messages).

Thanks!
Dan
