Hello,
I would recommend contacting your Provider or CPanel and they will take care of you.

I think only your host tech staff can help you.

Not a cPanel bug. Just a warning that your harddrive is not acting "as it should".

You should contact your host, and have all data moved to a new hard drive, and the harddrive you are currently using, got rid of.

That server is a ticking time bomb, the hard drive could fail at any point, which means you would lose all your data.

Your host should have some form of replacement of hardware, in which this should be covered.

Hi there.

If you run CentOS you will most likely have just completed an upgrade to 4.6. If this is the case it is a bug in the upgrade that is causing problems with the hard drive SMART checker and is nothing to worry about. This appears to only apply to SATA hard drives.

To remind people, this only applies to error 190 on an upgraded CentOS (to 4.6). Any other errors from SMART then it's probably time to replace the hard drive.
