[Bug 1471462] Re: On bootup smartd reports FailedReadSmartSelfTestLog but there is no hardware problem
It is possibly is a bug in the Intel X25 G1 firmware Intel did never fix (a similar bug in G2 was fixed). But I don't remember any related report since the G1 series was introduced in 2009(!). It is possibly not a smartmontools bug, except if the problem did not occur with older versions. Please test if '-F nologdir' changes anything. If not, test whether another problem occurs if '-l selftest' is not specified: Don't use '-a' in smartd.conf, use '-H -f -t -l error' instead. All that could be done in smartmontools is to add another -F ( --firmwarebug) option to suppress accesses to self-test log. If desired, please create a ticket upstream. But I'm not sure whether this enhancement is worth the (non-trivial) effort for a single SSD series introduced 6+ years ago. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to smartmontools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1471462 Title: On bootup smartd reports FailedReadSmartSelfTestLog but there is no hardware problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/smartmontools/+bug/1471462/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 1471462] Re: On bootup smartd reports FailedReadSmartSelfTestLog but there is no hardware problem
This is possibly not the Intel firmware bug mentioned in my previous comment but an older one: X18/X25-M/V G2 series with Firmware before 2CV102J8 may hang if self- test log is read. G1 series may also be affected. Smartctl and smartd print a related warning for G2 series but not for G1. Please update the SSD firmware if possible.

Some older Intel SSDs have known issues with the SMART READ LOG 0x00 (log directory) command: After this command was completed, the drive may hang. Smartd reads the log directory to check which log is supported, see https://www.smartmontools.org/ticket/89. This very old X18/X25-M G1 series SSD may be affected or not. Please try whether the problem persists if '-F nologdir' is added to the smartd.conf configuration line. ** Bug watch added: www.smartmontools.org/ #89 https://www.smartmontools.org/ticket/89 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to smartmontools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1471462 Title: On bootup smartd reports FailedReadSmartSelfTestLog but there is no hardware problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/smartmontools/+bug/1471462/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
