[OpenIndiana-discuss] SMART status changing?

2012-04-30 Thread Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk
Hi all I know this question isn't strictly an openindiana question, but I want to give it a shot… I have a few servers with some 300 drives in total with Icinga (a Nagios fork) monitoring the zpool and smartctl health. It sometimes happens that smartctl reports a bad drive, and it's replaced.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] SMART status changing?

2012-04-30 Thread Scott LeFevre
I've run across this before. What generally happens is a sector will become unreadable/failed and get reported by smartctl. If the file system is active and the file using that sector is updated/over written, the drive will reallocate the sector and fall off as a problem within SMART. The thing

I'm building a storage server with Dell MD1000 DAS and I just bought 30 drives with 4K sectors. One of the reasons I selected the "new" 4K sector is so I can easily find replacement drives 2-3 years from now when they start failing. Looks like this was a huge mistake. I'm fine if the drives repor

Are you sure? I thought SMART usually reports failure only after a few hundred/thousands sectors have failed and spare sectors are running short… roy - Opprinnelig melding - > I've run across this before. What generally happens is a sector will > become unreadable/failed and get reported

On "complete drive failure", you are probably correct but SMART has layers. There is a overall PASS/FAIL status which generally reads: === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED See vendor-specific Attribute list for marginal Attributes. If

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Compiling Mosh for OI 151

2012-04-30 Thread Robbie Crash
I'm trying to compile Mosh ( http://mosh.mit.edu/ ) for OI, but I'm running into problems with ncurses while running configure. When running configure, I receive the error that libtinfo or libncurses were not found. Checking config.log I see the following: configure:7005: checking for TINFO config

somewhat it does, and again, not. The error rate on the disk has the same numbers as earlier, but now health is reported as good, as in FAILING NOW a few hours ago - Opprinnelig melding - > On "complete drive failure", you are probably correct but SMART has > layers. There is a overall

I'm no professional when it comes to compiling, but I normally set PKG_CONFIG_PATH by hand with "export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig" (do set your proper paths), as well as LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/lib. I have also set the system library paths with crl
