Fedora was wrong (I think) (was Re: "One or more disks are failing" ?)

LOL.
I trust Debian and Mandriva as well. Only Fedora had been raising the
alarm over the past month. :)
And someone else earlier in this thread mentioned that he was convinced
it was a bug and filed a (redhat) bug report some time ago.
And lastly, with regard to the "propeller-head" remark. I wasn't
referring to anyone in this discussion. I was referring to the
developer(s) who (may have) introduced the bug in the smartmontools that
ended up in Fedora 11.
I just thought I'd clarify while I was thinking about it.
