[smartmontools-support] OCZ Vertex 4 SSD self test "invalid SMART checksum"

[Julian M. <ju...@co...>]

hello all

i've got a problem with smartctl failing to perform a short self-test on a OCZ Vertex 4 SSD (*)


smartctl 6.1 2013-03-16 r3800 [x86_64-apple-darwin12.3.0] (local build)

=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===
Warning! SMART Self-Test Log Structure error: invalid SMART checksum.
SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1
No self-tests have been logged.  [To run self-tests, use: smartctl -t]

any ideas?

searching for OCZ "invalid SMART checksum" indicates this may be connected to a problem in OCZ drives that was already worked around in smartctl for earlier models, but it seems there is no workaround in place for the vertex 4 yet?

thanks, julian

Drive model: OPZ-VERTEX4
