[smartmontools-support] Question about smartctl result

[HyunUk K. <hu...@kr...>]

Hello,

I'm a Korean system engineer.
May I ask you a question about the smartctl result? It will be really
appreciate if you response for this qustion.

When run smartctl on some HDD of IBM machines, there were error log
