Bug#636078: smartmontools: offline data collection was aborted by an interrupting command from host

The log message says that the action was suspended and aborted by an interrupting command. The report in such a way certainly makes it appear as if an error is occurring. The message texts are aligned with ATA standards, see T13 documents. I think you are saying that this has always been happening but is simply being reported in this version when it wasn't being reported before. Is that right? Yes. But it still seems like an error, right? No. This message is logged as LOG_INFO. Please note that smartd uses LOG_CRIT level to indicate possible disk problems. This would only be the case for the offline data collection was aborted by the device with a fatal error state. Smartmontools 5.42 adds new directives -l selfteststs (included in -a) and -l offlinests (not included in -a) to control this separately. Sorry but I don't understand what you are trying to tell me about using those options. I think you are suggesting that I should add one of those options to avoid the default of '-l selftest -a'. Is that right? Old (5.41) behavior: '-l selftest' also reports changes of self-test and offline data collection status. '-a' includes '-l selftest'. New (5.42) behavior: '-l selfteststs' reports changes of self-test execution status. '-l offlinests' reports changes of offline data collection status. '-l selftest' does no include the above. '-a' includes '-l selftest -l selfteststs' but not '-l offlinests'. See smartd.conf man page.

Sorry for the long delay. Since I wasn't CC'd on your response I didn't know you had posted one. I just happened upon the activity today while reviewing my submitted bugs.

Is that right? This should be fixed in Debian package 5.42+svn3539-1. Offline data collection status is no longer tracked unless '-l offlinests' is specified. I upgrade my Sid machine almost every day. Looking back through the logs I see that I installed this version. $ zgrep upgrade.smartmontools /var/log/dpkg.log-*.gz /var/log/dpkg.log-20120601.gz:2012-05-14 11:10:02 upgrade smartmontools:amd64 5.41+svn3365-1 5.42+svn3539-1 /var/log/dpkg.log-20120701.gz:2012-06-21 10:44:26 upgrade smartmontools:amd64 5.42+svn3539-1 5.42+svn3561-1 /var/log/dpkg.log-20120801.gz:2012-07-18 09:02:59 upgrade smartmontools:amd64 5.42+svn3561-1 5.42+svn3561-3 And looking through my logs I don't see this message in any of the recent syslogs. So I guess it is fixed. But by the discussion I am not sure if a problem is continuing but if it is simply just not reported anymore. Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Package: smartmontools Version: 5.41+svn3365-1 Severity: normal Since a smartmontools package update on 2011-06-24 to 5.41+svn3365-1 I am now seeing these messages logged to the log file.

Why is this happening twice daily? Here is my configuration: # Monitor all attributes, enable automatic offline data collection, # automatic Attribute autosave, and start a short self-test every # weekday between 2-3am, and a long self test Saturdays between 3-4am. # Ignore attribute 194 temperature change. # Ignore attribute 190 airflow temperature change. # On failure run all installed scripts. /dev/sda -a -o on -S on -s (S/../../[1-5]/03|L/../../6/03) -I 194 -I 190 -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner /dev/sdb -a -o on -S on -s (S/../../[1-5]/03|L/../../6/03) -I 194 -I 190 -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner I can see no reason for the reported failures.
