byte 0 has to be 0x70 or 0x71 byte 7 has to be >= 10 byte 12 is 0x5d if you have a smart trip this drive is clean! Figuring out the -i format is left as an exercise for the reader. Reading the smartlogs is worthles since you have no idea what bad means for that drive. Only the vendors know that. So if byte 12 is set to 0x5d toss the damn drive. krw || dlg, you get a cookie if you add this as a boot time command :-) On Sun, Nov 15, 2009 at 04:32:13PM +1100, mark hellewell wrote: > 2009/11/15 Mark Hellewell <mark.hellew...@gmail.com>: > > Hello, > > > > Please can anybody tell me how to correctly run a SMART offline test using > atactl?
