I have a WD2003FYPS sitting in a system, to be used for testing. Bought it just before this thread started, and here's what it looks like right now: 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 508 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 2710 This drive is sitting, unused, with no filesystem, and I've performed approximately zero writes to the disk. Having a script kick off and write to a disk will help so long as that disk is writable; if it's being used as a hot spare in a raidz array, it's not going to help much. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
