Hi, smartd seems to interpret attribute 198 for the SSD as: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], 455790495 Offline uncorrectable sectors whereas smartctl (correctly) interprets it as: 198 Read_Sectors_Tot_Ct 0x0000 --- --- --- Old_age Offline - 455790495 Output of "smartd -d" and "smartctl -a /dev/sda" is attached. (the only not out-commented and non empty line in /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf is: "/dev/sda") smartd 5.40 2010-05-26 r3113 [x86_64-suse-linux-gnu] (local build) smartctl 5.40 2010-05-26 r3113 [x86_64-suse-linux-gnu] (local build) This is the very same drive (SSD STT_FTM64GX25H) as in an earlier thread:) http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=4BDB6826.5090105%40web.de&forum_name=smartmontools-database Greetings and thanks, Frieder |

Thanks - I can confirm it is fixed:) > The old defaults '-C 197 -U 198' do no longer make sense for such drives. Would it be possible to have '-R 208 -R 209' as new default for these drives? (Average_Erase_Count and Remaining_Lifetime_Perc) Or maybe more maintainable a kind of string lookup: '-WouldShowAttributeByNameIfDriveHasIt "Average_Erase_Count"' which could be default?

SSD devices will be a moving target for some time, I would suggest to wait some time before adding new defaults. > Or maybe more maintainable a kind of string lookup: > '-WouldShowAttributeByNameIfDriveHasIt "Average_Erase_Count"' > which could be default? > > To configure this based on attribute name is a good idea. One possible solution would be extend the -R directive: -R ID[!] -- Report changes of raw value from attribute number ID. -R REGEX[!] -- same but for all attributes with a name matching REGEX. (or -R /REGEX/[!]) Thanks, Christian |
