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.
