In the message at http://lists.debian.org/debian-isp/2003/debian-isp-200304/msg00191.html, the writer indicates that SMART is able to keep track of how many bad sectors have been remapped to spare locations on the disk... "You can use SMART to determine how many re-mapping events have occurred. Expect to be able to remap at least 1000 blocks before running out." Does that sound like a correct parameter that is available? (I'm not worried about how many blocks/sectors are supposed to be available.) Is it available in smartmontools as a attribute name that I'm not interpreting as "remap count"? Thank you, -Michael Bendzick Systems and Software Engineering Intern Logic Product Development mic...@lo... www.logicpd.com |

Yes, this parameter is available on most modern disks. For an example see: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/examples/MAXTOR-1.txt which is one of the examples here: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/#sampleoutput The Attribute that you want is the raw value of Attribute #5: Reallocated Sector Count. On this example it's 499 sectors (they are 512 bytes each so this is just under 256 KB total). Cheers, Bruce |
