I recieved this email from my cPanel server today , can anyone tell me what does this mean ?, is this an important error or a false alarm?

Thanks,

False alarm.

It may be a false alarm. It can also indicate a disk about to die. You should watch the error count. If it goes up then the disk needs to be replaced. If it stays the same it is probably an incompatibility between the SMART controller on the disk and smartmontools.
