Bug ID: 438539
Summary: Don't notify about acknowledged errors in the devices
error log
Product: plasma-disks
Version: unspecified
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: bernhard+...@scheirle.de
CC: sit...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Hi,
I have a device that has a 'good' overall smart status, but contains entries in
its error log.
In my case these entries are really old and a extended self test reports no
errors.
But it is good that plasam-disks notifies about that:
"The SMART firmware is not reporting a failure, but there are early signs of
malfunction. [...] The device error log contains records of errors."
The downside is that the notification is triggered on every start up.
And once a user has done everything he wants to do (e.g. creating a Backup) he
is forced to ignore this notification.
This is annoying and has the high risk of accidentally also ignoring further
new error entries, more severe errors or errors for a different disk.
It would be nice to be able to acknowledge the error log entries
and then plasam-disks would only notify the user if new error entries are
present.
Of cause a overall change in the smart status should still be notified.
To keep it simple, on acknowledgement plasam-disks could only store the total
error count
and only notify the user if that changed.
Thanks
Bernhard
