Good Evening.

There are errors detected in webmin for my IDE-Harddisks.
First hdd "102 Errors detected" text is red coloured.
Second hdd 198 Errors (red)
Third 3 Errors (also red)

Any Hints?
I already checked all three disks with fsck for errors in the file-system
strucutre as in bad blocks.
The Error log (smartctl) shown lower seems less more critical than the error
rate of about 200.
The Disk with 3 Errors is even 2 years older ... ???
Is there a reason to worry?
