similar to: ZFS Automatic Device Error Notification?

Hi All, I don't know enough about when errors are *really* errors. So I google a lot to read and learn. I have a few things in my Logwatch that I want to make sure I understand 1. smartd **Unmatched Entries** Problem creating device name scan list Device /dev/sda: using '-d sat' for ATA disk behind SAT layer. Device /dev/sdb: using '-d sat' for ATA disk behind SAT layer.

Yohoo! I have some issues with the smartd in CentOS5/x64 I edited the /etc/smartd.conf for my needs and restarted the smartd with "service smartd restart". But the start script is overriding my file. I checked it and saw the following lines: ---------------/etc/init.d/smartd------------ case "$1" in start | reload | restart) GEN_CONF="*SMARTD*AUTOGENERATED*" [ !

I noticed that the changelog for the new kernel 2.6.9-34 on the redhat enterprise watchlist states on of the fixes as; 145061 - SMART support in SATA driver (P1) Does this mean that with that kernel we should be able to interrogate SATA drives now ? Cheers, Bards.

Been moving along just fine for a couple years now, then in the last two days, email has slowed to a crawl. Retrieving email via IMAP is very slow, progress bar in the mail client shows that it is downloading messages almost constantly, like it never closes the connection, or it?s getting the messages very slowly. The server that dovecot/postfix is on has also bogged down to a crawl. The

last night I checked the log messages on the server Dell PE2950 6xSAS 146G I found the smartd running , I did not request such daemon [root at PowerEdge1 pons]# tail -f /var/log/messages Aug 25 08:27:30 PowerEdge1 smartd[8039]: Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Aug 25 08:27:30 PowerEdge1 smartd[8039]: Opened configuration file /etc/smartd.conf Aug 25 08:27:30 PowerEdge1

I updated the machine that I use for a web/email server last night to 5.9, and I have this in the logwatch report this morning: QUOTE: --------------------- Smartd Begin ------------------------ Warnings: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], WARNING: There are known problems with these drives, - 1 Time(s) **Unmatched Entries** smartd 5.42 2011-10-20 r3458 [x86_64-linux-2.6.18-348.el5] (local

I want to install smarmontools v 5.40, and so I pulled the SRPM for 5.39 so I could patch and install... $ wget -Nc ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Workstation/en/os/SRPMS/smartmontools-5.39.1-2.el6.src.rpm However, the install of the source fails. $ rpm -ivh smartmontools-5.39.1-2.el6.src.rpm warning: smartmontools-5.39.1-2.el6.src.rpm: V3 RSA/MD5 signature: NOKEY, key ID

I have an old external harddisk, Toshiba 320 Gb, with a USB connector that I wanted to check for contents. It did not start up when connected and I could not hear the motor spinning. After leaving it in the freezer overnight the motor spins but it is not recognized by my computer. I disassembled it and could see that the head assembly rests outside the disk but when it is powered on, the head

Hi, I've CentOS5 box with 3ware RAID controller in it. I can't get the tw_cli command line tool to work, and smartd also barks on me. The tw_cli simply doesn't see the controller, no errors logged anywhere. When starting smartd, it is much more verbose. I'm getting a bunch of messages like this: Oct 9 22:15:15 toporko kernel: program smartd is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl,

Hello I seem to be getting some messages via email and in var/log/messages as well, i think its a hard drive gone bad but was wondering if anyone has seen something similar to this or would have some ideas if its fixable or not, here are the messages This email was generated by the smartd daemon running on: host name: localhost.localdomain DNS domain: localdomain NIS domain: (none)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, I have recently bought a new disk (Seagate 500G, ST3500320NS). I have enabled SMART checking using the smartmontools as usual for the disk (/dev/ad6 -a -S on -s (S/../.././03|L/../../7/03) -m root). The problem is that each time the test runs I get messages like the following in /var/log/messages: Oct 26 04:54:15 35 kernel: ad6: TIMEOUT -

On Solaris x86, does zpool (or anything) support PATA (or SATA) IDE SMART data? With the Predictive Self Healing feature, I assumed that Solaris would have at least some SMART support, but what I''ve googled so far has been discouraging. http://prefetch.net/blog/index.php/2006/10/29/solaris-needs-smart-support-please-help/ Bug ID: 4665068 SMART support in IDE driver

Yes, I thought all of those things too. Spent a good part of yesterday eliminating them as the cause. top and iotop do not show any issues. No spam filtering on this box (it?s a separate server/software). Drive is 1/3 full. No smart errors. The queue problem (and I don?t know why this isn?t handled better) turned out to be a couple of corrupted messages in the queue. Had about 400 messages

CentOS Community, What commands can I use to check the disk health of the system when LVM2 is being used on top of a RAID 10 using a HARDWARE 3ware raid card. The OS sees a hardware raid usually as one big drive. Is there a way to check the disks individually to see if any are failing, or throwing hard or scsi transport errors?

Hello, After updating to CentOS-5.7, I have a (small) problem : The context of /dev/megadev0 is now defined (in /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts) as system_u:object_r:removable_device_t:s0. This cause smartmontools to fail : avc: denied { read write } for pid=2847 comm="smartd" name="megadev0" dev=tmpfs ino=8284

Hi all, For those of you that have been using the ext4 technology preview on CentOS 5.5, how has it panned out? Does it perform as expected? How do you feel the stability, creation of the FS and the administration of it is? Ideas and comments welcome. Thanks. -- BW, Sorin ----------------------------------------------------------- # Sorin Srbu [Sysadmin, Systems Engineer] # Dept of Medicinal

I'm in the process of rolling out the upgrade from (mostly) 5.3 to 5.4. One of my servers started throwing the following: Nov 1 05:22:51 <server> kernel: target4:0:0: FAST-80 WIDE SCSI 160.0 MB/s DT (12.5 ns, offset 62) Nov 1 05:22:51 <server> kernel: target4:0:1: FAST-80 WIDE SCSI 160.0 MB/s DT (12.5 ns, offset 62) into my logs every half hour. I don't see anything

I have this ASUS M2NBP-VM motherboard http://tinyurl.com/3xby3h running CentOS 4.4 as a web/email server. It has a 500Gb SATA2 drive with about 32Gb in use. The motherboard supports hardware raid. Is there a way to switch to RAID1 without reinstalling or loosing any data? Also, if I am running raid how do I know if there is a failure on one of the drives anyway? Is hardware RAID1 a good idea?

It seems I can't smarm monitor disks on RAID controllers? I tried on several machines with two different controllers and on all I get this when starting up smartd: Jul 27 14:36:43 c1 smartd[5944]: Opened configuration file /etc/smartd.conf Jul 27 14:36:43 c1 smartd[5944]: Configuration file /etc/smartd.conf parsed.

I'm looking to do a bit more monitoring of my 3ware 9550 with smartd, and wanted to see what others were doing with smart for monitoring 3ware hardware. Do you have the smartd.conf configured to test, or simply monitor health status? Are you monitoring the drive as centos sees it (/dev/sdX) or are you using the 3ware /dev/twaX for monitoring? Opinions and discussions are welcome :-P --
