Hi,
one of my harddrives appears to be very slow.
I have issued
smartctl -a /dev/sdb | grep Hardware_ECC_Recovered
which shows growing counts - increasing from 59013289 to 62222641
within a few minutes.
Does this mean my harddrive is dying?
Thanks for a comment,
Helmut.

Yes - copy everything important off to another drive asap.
