From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Okay cool. I would be wary of that drive just in case, and I would definitely schedule weekly SMART short tests and monthly BTRFS scrubs on it if you go with BTRFS in the future. EXT4/XFS/etc do not have a concept of data checksums, which means they can't scrub and check for bitrot - this might be problematic if you find that your disk starts causing bitrot because you won't know where it's happening.
I follow Backblaze's rules on detecting impending drive failure:
If any of these SMART metrics are higher than 0 I'd expect failure soon and take precautions.
Thank you Id 197 and 198 reported 5 & 6 respectively(bad sectors decreased from 6 to 5), Is it possible to copy a file non sequentially; say back to front so i can just join those 2 parts together?
Try this answer. I guarantee there is a way to read the file front to back while skipping errors, but I run so much data redundancy that I don't have any experience with it.
Thank you
