...DATA SECTION === > SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED That's the line you are looking for. Since your disk apparently does not store an error log - not sure if that's something with SSDs in general or just with this particular disk - you will always have to invoke smartctl -t short /dev/sda and then after the test has completed check the output of smartctl -a /dev/sda for that particular line. Shouldn't be too hard to put in a cron job, just make sure the job waits long enough (more than 1 minute, make it 2 to be sure) with reading the output of smartctl -a af...

...t one drive had one unreadable sector. I umounted it, and ran an fsck -c, then remounted it. Error didn't go away. Now, what's really annoying is that I've gotten back to it today, and it's reporting the problem, as it has for weeks now, every half an hour. However, when I run > smartctl -q errorsonly -H -l selftest -l error /dev/sdb it gives me *nothing*. Anyone understand why I get two different results? mark "and I am waiting for the smartctl -t long /dev/sdb to complete"

Hey, guys See further below extracted output from a daily scrub showing csum errors on sdb, part of a raid1 btrfs. Looking back, it has been getting errors like this for a few days now. The disk is patently unreliable but smartctl's output implies there are no issues. Is this somehow standard faire for S.M.A.R.T. output?

...F READ SMART DATA SECTION === > SMART Error Log not supported I reckon there's a <snip> between those lines. The line right after the first should read something like: SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED or "FAILED" for that matter. If not try running smartctl -t short /dev/sda , wait for the indicated time to expire, then check the output of smartctl -a (or -x) again.

...39; and it only did less than 2% in that time. Read access became _really_ slow. So there's definitely something amiss and I've got it offline. There's no drama about the content as I have other backups and I'm resigned to junking the thing, but I'm curious about the fact that smartctl doesn't seem to report any errors. I tried a short and a long test but nothing in there seems to be alarming - in fact it says PASSED!! - but the output is pretty opaque and maybe I've been foxed by ambiguity. Anyone care to comment on it? Here it is: [root at nina bhepple]# smartctl /dev...

Hi All, I have a WD RE4-GP which dropped an Adaptec 51645 RAID controller. I ran a smartctl short test on the drive and it failed with a read error. So I ran the Western Digital's own diagnostic software (DLGDIAG), both the short and extended test on the drive and it passed with no errors. So I ran the smartctl short test again and again it failed. I then ran smartctl long test an...

I've just installed my first system with a SATA drive and I've noticed that smartctl isn't supported under libata According to the smartmontools home page, SATA will require a patch that is still in development. http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6983#comment-126714 "The patch is still under development and it is probably best to make sure that the disk is idle before t...

...p to two min to recover; meanwhile, a RAID or HBA controller has hissy fits if it takes more than 7 or 15 seconds. I'm ready to test this out; the trouble is, either I d/l a DOS utility, or I find what, two years ago, was bleeding edge smartmontools; the one with 6.2, 5.39.1-5, does not allows smartctl -l scterc,70,70 /dev/sdb So, does anyone know a) what version might include that, and b) where I can find it? I have no problem building from a tarball, if I need to. mark

Though quiet at the moment, my desktop sometimes sometimes makes a noise that I attribute to either a disk or a fan on its last legs. I'm looking for suggestions for distinguishing. For the disk, I expect I should use either hdparm of fsck. Even after reading the man page, I'm not sure how I would use hdparm. If I use fsck, what should I take as evidence of a bad drive? A good drive? Is

Oops. I just reread that this is now SATA. New versions of hdparm and smartctl can tell you if the drive is Advanced Format, and if it is, then I recommend redoing the partition scheme so it's 4K aligned. And so that it has an MBR gap. The current way to do this is have the 1st partition start at LBA 2048. -- Chris Murphy
