I have however a question: How do I verify that
a hard-drive is accurately working if its firmware will hide the bad
sectors as long as possible?
I think the smartctl program from ports/smartmontools is
a good tool for such verification. As far as I understood,
it can read internal error logs from the firmware.
Hi, following your suggestion I used smartmon to get access to the SMART
data. I have run an extended offline test (with-t offline I think). The
test reported no error (!) and the bad sectors are now read/writeable
(!!). Is it safe to think the problem is gone?
# smartctl -l selftest /dev/ad10
=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===
SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1
Num Test_Description Status Remaining
LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error
# 1 Extended offline Completed without error 00% 458
-
# 2 Extended offline Aborted by host 70% 456
