[smartmontools-support] Convert LBA Address to the name of the disk file

[Patric <pa...@bl...>]

Hi all,

New here so hi :)

Hope somebody can point me in the right direction.

In the smartctl documentation it states the following:
"...If any errors were detected, the Logical Block Address (LBA) of the 
first error is printed in decimal notation.
*On Linux systems the smartmontools web page has instructions about how 
to convert this LBA address to the name of the disk file containing the 
erroneous block.*"

So, I have an error, and it does return the LBA, but I cannot find any 
instructions about how to convert it to the name of the disk file, so 
that I can find the culprit!

Here is the output from my selftest:

...
Error 1 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 4791 hours (199 days + 15 hours)
   When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was 
active or idle.

   After command completion occurred, registers were:
   ER ST SC SN CL CH DH
   -- -- -- -- -- -- --
   10 51 f0 20 f8 50 e9  Error: IDNF at LBA = 0x0950f820 = 156301344

   Commands leading to the command that caused the error were:
   CR FR SC SN CL CH DH DC   Powered_Up_Time  Command/Feature_Name
   -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --  ----------------  --------------------
   c5 00 00 10 f8 50 e9 02      00:09:53.443  WRITE MULTIPLE
   c5 00 00 10 f7 50 e9 02      00:09:53.433  WRITE MULTIPLE
   c5 00 00 10 f6 50 e9 02      00:09:53.423  WRITE MULTIPLE
   c5 00 00 10 f5 50 e9 02      00:09:53.413  WRITE MULTIPLE
   c5 00 00 10 f4 50 e9 02      00:09:53.403  WRITE MULTIPLE

Can anybody point me in the right direction? I have searched the 
archives with no luck, and googled also with no luck...

Thanks a million,
Patric
