[smartmontools-support] Query re. OCZ Vertex2-Pro - drivedb.h entry?

[Karl P. <kpi...@td...>]

Hi,

I've just updated my copy of Smartmontools 5.40 to use the latest (from 
SVN) copy of drivedb.h (Revision 3215).

This seemed to include some changes for the OCZ Vertex2-Pro drives we have 
(I submitted a smartctl -a output to the database list a while back).

Whilst this does now seem to be supported, i.e. we get:

"
=== START OF INFORMATION SECTION ===
Model Family:     SandForce Driven SSDs
Device Model:     OCZ VERTEX2-PRO
Serial Number:    f1b060006
Firmware Version: 1.10
User Capacity:    50,020,540,416 bytes
Device is:        In smartctl database [for details use: -P show]
"

There still appears to be issues with two of the parameters, i.e.

"
232 Available_Reservd_Space 0x0000   000   000   010    Old_age   Offline 
FAILING_NOW 16
233 SandForce_Internal      0x0000   000   000   000    Old_age   Offline 
-       320
234 SandForce_Internal      0x0000   000   000   000    Old_age   Offline 
-       896
235 SuperCap_Health         0x0033   000   000   001    Pre-fail  Always 
FAILING_NOW 0
"

Is it valid to just 'poach' the latest drivedb.h and recompile with it, or 
are there any other files that also need to be updated?

drivedb.h says:

"OCZ VERTEX2-PRO/1.10 (Bogus thresholds for attribute 232 and 235)"

But I can't tell if that's something it's stating either "Hey, they're 
broke" or "We know they're broke so we'll ignore them".

Will Smartmontools see those two 'FAILING' attributes and presume the drive 
is failing immediately?

Thanks,

-Karl
