Package: smartmontools
Version: 5.32-1
Severity: normal
The significant line in my smartd.conf is:
DEVICESCAN \
-a \
-o on \
-S on \
-n standby \
-s (see below) \
-m zblaxell \
-M test \
-M diminishing \
I've tried various values for the parameter of '-s', including:
-s
'./../.././..|S/../.././(01|07|13|19)|C/../.././(02|10|18)|O/../.././03'
-s
'L/../.././00|S/../.././(01|07|13|19)|C/../.././(02|10|18)|O/../.././03'
-s 'L/../.././..'
-s '.*'
None of these cause smartd to actually perform long self-tests, nor
do they cause smartd to write a message to the log explaining why no
self-test was performed. All other self-test types trigger some activity
by smartd, which either commands the drive to perform the test, or writes
in the syslog an excuse for not attempting the test (e.g. drive already
doing a test, drive in STANDBY mode, drive not capable of self-test).
If the -s regexp matches a long self-test for a given hour, it will
prevent all other test types that also match in the same hour. The
parameters "-s '.*'" seem to mean "run no self-tests."
I've stared at the code for a while but I can't see an obvious reason why
smartd would schedule a short self-test but not a long one, nor any reason
why there wouldn't be at least one line of syslog mentioning that smartd
had at least considered running the long self-test, but decided not to.
I'm running smartmontools 5.32 on several machines with kernel versions
2.4.20, 2.4.22, 2.4.24, 2.4.26, and 2.6.7.
