Re: [smartmontools-support]RE: SMART Error Log Read failed

[Bruce A. <ba...@gr...>]

Hugo,

As the warning message and documentation states, unless the 1.02.00.036
3w-xxxx driver has been patched, you CAN NOT trust the SMART RETURN STATUS
value, ie this line of output:
  SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED
I don't know why the SMART READ LOG commands are failing.  Could you
please see if these commands also fail with the 1.02.00.037 ? If they do,
could you please tell me some additional details about your machines
(processor, kernel, OS version, distribution).

Bruce
