Hi folks, One of my servers has a problem with its harddrive. To receive a warning on harddrive failures, I usually have the following as a cronjob: /sbin/atactl /dev/wd0c smartstatus >> /dev/null 2>&1 The output of /sbin/atactl /dev/wd0c smartstatus on that server is: No SMART threshold exceeded
However, if i use: /sbin/atactl /dev/wd0c readattr I receive this: Attributes table revision: 16 ID Attribute name Threshold Value Raw 1 Raw Read Error Rate 16 100 0x000000000000 2 Throughput Performance 50 100 0x000000000000 3 Spin Up Time 24 120 0x000300a600a5 4 Start/Stop Count 0 100 0x00000000001b 5 *Reallocated Sector Count 5 1 0x00000000075b 7 Seek Error Rate 67 100 0x000000000000 ... One or more threshold values exceeded! I had a look at atactl.c and noticed, that the threshold check is completely different! [1] Could someone explain the difference to me please? I just do not understand how the smartstatus check works! Thanks! Cheers, Vincent [1] http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/src/sbin/atactl/atactl.c?rev =1.42;content-type=text%2Fplain
