Package: smartmontools Version: 6.3+svn3990-1 Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. --- After upgrade, one user got a screenfull of disk health changed scares. A journalctl | grep smart got a bunch of messages, every 30 min after upgrade.
I downgraded to testing. No errors reported reported from any disks. The disks: 1. Older 80 gig "PATA". Never a moment's problem with it. One partition mounted because needed a larger / than provided by the Debian installer! I believe that error messages for this are spurious. No clicks, hot running, etc. 2. Brand new SATA. No errors reported. At least that much :-) 3. Relatively new SATA but this one had errors. No data on this disk, it is simply sitting in the machine with power, SATA connected. Has on borked sector(s). There are usable partitions on it but none are used or mounted. (This disk's failure was reason for re-installation.) I would expect "OFFLINE" errors from this one but do not need to see them all the time. I already know. Would have to use partitions on this if I get rid of the older 80gigger. --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 3.16-1-amd64 Debian Release: jessie/sid 500 unstable ftp.us.debian.org 500 testing ftp.us.debian.org 500 sid linux.dropbox.com --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ============================-+-============= libc6 (>= 2.17) | libcap-ng0 | libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1) | libselinux1 (>= 1.32) | libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1) | debianutils (>= 2.2) | lsb-base (>= 3.2-14) | Recommends (Version) | Installed =========================-+-=========== mailx | OR mailutils | Suggests (Version) | Installed =============================-+-=========== gsmartcontrol | smart-notifier | 0.28-5 --- Output from package bug script --- Output of /usr/share/bug/smartmontools: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
