Hi, I got a new SCSI hard drive installed and wanted to do at first some tests = using=20 smartmontools before I start to use the drive. Within the self test log I f= ound two strange things happening (see appended output of "smartctl -l selftest" and other a= dditional info): 1) The test number in the self test log doesn't get incremented.=20 2) A completed selftest appears, but it's entry telling that the self test= is in progress still appears as well. I use the downloadable windows version 5.33 from SF on W2k.

Additionally I found that the manufacturing week=20 (obtained with smartctl.exe -A) of the drive is empty: > Manufactured in week =A0 =A0of year 2005 ^^^^=20 Strange? Marko |

Which ASPI driver do you use? Please send output of "smartctl -r ioctl,2 -l selftest ..." If you want to use a newer version of smartctl, see download link in my last mail in this list (Subject: "New HD database"). Christian |

Thanks, I think this should be my first step then. Marko |

The latest Adaptek ASPI driver report Version "4.71 (0002)" If you have an extra wnaspi32.dll in smartctl install directory, this dll will be used instead. Christian |

Hi, running a SuSE linux 9.3 rescue system CD on my W2k machine and checking my disks using smartmontools revealed that also the linux version gives funny output when issuing "smartctl -l selftest /dev/sdb" a la --- SMART Self-test log Num Test Status segment LifeTime LBA_first_err [SK ASC ASQ] Description number (hours) # 0 Background short Completed - 57 - [- - -] # 0 Background short Self test in progress ... - 57 - [- - -] # 0 Background long Interrupted ('-X' switch) - 57 - [- - -] # 0 Background long Self test in progress ... - 57 - [- - -] # 0 Background short Completed - 57 - [- - -] # 0 Background short Self test in progress ... - 57 - [- - -] --- * Num staying as 0, not incrementing itself. * "Self test in progress..." not being overwritten. Any ideas from the list? (Hi Christian, so it's not a windows version quirk! All my tries to identify the ASPI driver as the cause of trouble had to lead to nowhere back then.) Marko |
