linux - Pending sector count went down to zero without being reallocated?

A week ago I had a smartctl alert saying that the Current Pending Sector count went up to 1. The alert had repeated for 4 days, and stopped.


I was expecting for the sector to become reallocated, but in fact now both Current Pending Sector, Reallocated Sector, and Reallocated Event counts are zero! How could this be and what does this mean?


Disk in question is a year-old WD Caviar Green in a USB enclosure attached to a NAS. The disk is persistently monitored by smartd.
