Re: [smartmontools-support] Current_Pending_Sector = 112, yet no SMART warning

[Louie <lo...@ii...>]

on this 320GB drive, the offline test needed 1.5 hours to finish!

root@srv2:~# smartctl -t offline /dev/sdb
smartctl version 5.38 [x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-8 Bruce Allen
Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/

=== START OF OFFLINE IMMEDIATE AND SELF-TEST SECTION ===
Sending command: "Execute SMART off-line routine immediately in off-line mode".
Drive command "Execute SMART off-line routine immediately in off-line mode" successful.
Testing has begun.
Please wait 5760 seconds for test to complete.

anyhow, i assume the only two values that would update with an offline
test are Offline_Uncorrectable and Multi_Zone_Error_Rate both have
always read 0 in my case anyway.

Current_Pending_Sector is now down to 111 (from 112)
Reallocated_Event_Count is still at 0

i don't know what to make of this anymore :(
