[smartmontools-support] smartd and broken hard disks

[thomas <sm...@po...>]

Hello,

since two week I use smartd to check a lot of hard disks.

DEVICESCAN -n standby,10,q -H -m my@email.xyz -a -s 
(S/../.././10|L/../../3/02)

Ca. 10 hard disk are broken in the last 12 days, it is unpossible to get 
any access to this disks. This happened  mostly after the weekly long test.

are broken:= no access to the hard disks via bios or smart possible

At the moment I can't give you any information about the disks (producer 
and type), because we use many different types of hard disks.

So, my question ist more general.

It is possible to destroy a hard disk with a short or long test? Or it 
is more possible, that the smart tests where the last straw?

Best regards,
thomas.
