Hello everybody, As a follow up to the thread subj: is harddrive kaput? the cable is fine.
All the smartctl selftests return w/ no error. But #smartctl -l error /dev/hdb Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART Error Log Version: 1 Warning: ATA error count 94 inconsistent with error log pointer 5 ATA Error Count: 94 (device log contains only the most recent five errors) CR = Command Register [HEX] FR = Features Register [HEX] SC = Sector Count Register [HEX] SN = Sector Number Register [HEX] CL = Cylinder Low Register [HEX] CH = Cylinder High Register [HEX] DH = Device/Head Register [HEX] DC = Device Command Register [HEX] ER = Error register [HEX] ST = Status register [HEX] Powered_Up_Time is measured from power on, and printed as DDd+hh:mm:SS.sss where DD=days, hh=hours, mm=minutes, SS=sec, and sss=millisec.
