[mythtv-users] SMARTD reports a drive issue with a MythTV Storage drive

So SMARTD reported to me this morning that last night (probably recording a show):

CurrentPendingSector bumped up from 0 to 1

and

OfflineUncorrectableSector bumped up from 0 to 1.

I run 2 drives for Myth but NOT in a RAID. So 1/2 of my TV recordings are on one drive.

What's the best method for backing this drive up so myth doesn't complain?

I would imagine it would be something like:

   * Shutdown the masterbackend.
   * copy all the files from the failing drive to someplace else
   * replace with new drive and format/configure as needed
   * copy files back to new drive from temp storage
   * start up masterbackend

Am I missing anything else?

Thanks,

  -Ben
