Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-disk-utility

I am using mdadm RAID1 created during the instalation using alternate CD.

After log in, the window with the message "One or more disks are failing" appears, the session starts properly, but there is small disk icon in the Notification Area (see attached screenshot).

When click on the name of the disk, the Palimpsest application starts and all disks are without errors. When closed, the disk icon stays in the Notification Area.

devkit-disks --show-info /dev/sda
devkit-disks --show-info /dev/sdb

are returning "bad sectors: Yes" (see bellow)

the same command for the /dev/md0, /dev/md1, /dev/sda1, /dev/sda5, /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdb5
does not return any error.

I have found similar symptoms/problem described in the bug 421263 ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/421263 )

just did a surface scan with hddscan from windows and the disc has no bad sectors. Although some of the ata smart info are signed with a warning sign.

I send as attachments the reports from the surface test and ata smart info
