Hi, I have a Maxtor DiamondMax 9 which fails Maxtor's PowerMax diagnostics. I'm trying to use 'smartmon' to read the SMART error log but am unable to do so. The logging is supported according to the capabilities: A:\bin>smartctl -c /dev/hdb smartctl version 5.33 [i386-pc-mingw32] Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ =3D=3D=3D START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION =3D=3D=3D General SMART Values: Offline data collection status: (0x82) Offline data collection activity was completed without error. Auto Offline Data Collection: Enabled. Self-test execution status: ( 0) The previous self-test routine completed without error or no self-test has ever been run. Total time to complete Offline data collection: ( 241) seconds. Offline data collection capabilities: (0x5b) SMART execute Offline immediate. Auto Offline data collection on/off support. Suspend Offline collection upon new command. Offline surface scan supported. Self-test supported. No Conveyance Self-test supported. Selective Self-test supported. SMART capabilities: (0x0003) Saves SMART data before entering power-saving mode. Supports SMART auto save timer. Error logging capability: (0x01) Error logging supported. No General Purpose Logging support. Short self-test routine recommended polling time: ( 2) minutes. Extended self-test routine recommended polling time: ( 37) minutes. Yet when I tried to read the error log, I get the following: A:\bin>smartctl -l error /dev/hdb smartctl version 5.33 [i386-pc-mingw32] Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ =3D=3D=3D START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION =3D=3D=3D Error SMART Error Log Read failed: Function not implemented Smartctl: SMART Error Log Read Failed A:\bin> Does this just mean there are no errors logged? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Dave Ryan |

Try smartctl from some linux boot CD like Knoppix to read the logs. >Am I doing something wrong? > > No. Christian |
