I would like to recieve warnings, when something wrong is going on with my hdd, but it isn't good when we recieve errors, that other software doesn't diagnose. Of course we could say that other software isn't as cautious as palimpsest is.

On the other hand, if palimpsest shows an error, other software doesn't and my hdd works without any problems for another 12 months, then we will learn not to trust this utility.

Maybe we should have this errors and warnings redesigned to show that some bad things happened, they don't mean that hdd is going to explode in 5 seconds, but we should be cautious, look for weird behaviour and stuff, so we won't think that Palimsest is shouting "wolf" too many times.
