The command to do the short test:
smartctl -d sat -T permissive --test=short /dev/sdb1
The drive seems to disable smart after a certain amount of time, and
smart must be enabled again, maybe because this is a "green" drive that
supposedly goes standby after some time of disuse.
In the report below, note this error:
Error SMART Status command failed
Please get assistance from http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/
Values from ATA Return Descriptor are:
00 09 0c 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 4f 00 00 00 00
I hope it is meaningful to the developers.
Also
184 Unknown_Attribute 0x0032 100 100 099 Old_age Always
- 0
worries me a little, as this is a brand new drive. Wikipedia says
184 B8 End-to-End error
This attribute is a part of HP's SMART IV technology and it
means that after transferring through the cache RAM data buffer the
parity data between the host and the hard drive did not match.
Maybe Seagate is using 184 for a similarly serious error.
