[smartmontools-support]Samsung Power_On_Half_Minutes

[Sebastian R. <se...@ze...>]

Hello,

on my SAMSUNG SP1203N IDE HDD, smartctl says the SMART-Field #9 counts 
half minutes and so it calculates the time with a factor of 30 seconds.

I compared different logs from different times and got a factor of 
around 32.1 seconds (the computer was never turned off and power saving 
is disabled).

Can anybody confirm that?

I want to use this SMART attribute as a low level counter for the uptime 
of the computer and there is a 7% difference to much.
