/usr/sbin/smartctl -a -d ata /dev/<drive>
I decided to start with the long self test, which is running now:
smartctl -t long -d ata /dev/sda
Ok, I've run smartctl -t long -d ata /dev/sda test. I think the
pertinent output from smartctl -a -d ata /dev/sda is:
SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1
Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours)
LBA_of_first_error
# 1 Extended offline Completed without error 00% 1343 -
From what I've now read I take this to mean that my hard drive is
operating as expected, so I can stop worrying about imminent
failure. I'm not clear on the offline testing and other options for
using smartd. For the /etc/smartd.conf file I take it I should use
something like:
/dev/hda -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03) -m root
Am I correct in interpreting this to mean that smartctl will run
appropriate tests on a weekly schedule, and if it finds any problems
it will email me a warning? Is there anything else I should do to set
up proper disk monitoring?
I had not noticed that. Interesting. I just run a cron job once a week.
However, a while back I posted a query if anybody had ever gotten a
warning from smartmon that their disk was failing. In your case you
think your disk is failing but smartmon indicates nothing except for
those 2 values of Reallocated_Sector_Ct and Reallocated_Event_Count. In
my case these show a rawvalue of 0. and the disks have respectively:
LifeTime(hours) 9566 and 4757.
If you would keep us posted on whether that disk actually fails or not.
