Hello! I installed a new hard disc in PC and integrated in my SmartMonTools-Script, which cyclically performs an extended test over all my hard discs. After some confusion why my script isn't working correctly any more I found out, that when a start a test it isn't shown "In progress". An detailed explanation of my experiment to figure the problem: I'm starting a new test on my hard disc: smartctl -t long /dev/sda Then I check if the test in in progress: smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda The result is: smartctl 6.2 2013-04-20 r3812 [i686-linux-3.11.0-12-generic] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-13, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART Extended Self-test Log Version: 1 (1 sectors) Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error # 2 Short offline Completed without error 00% 169 - As you can see, no test is in progress. But this is wrong. Only one old (completed) test is shown. When I trigger the test again: smartctl -t long /dev/sda I get the following result: === START OF OFFLINE IMMEDIATE AND SELF-TEST SECTION === Can't start self-test without aborting current test (90% remaining), add '-t force' option to override, or run 'smartctl -X' to abort test. It looks like, the test is ongoing, but it it isn't shown in progress when a do an "smartctl -l selftest". After some time, the triggered test is correctly shown in the log: === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1 Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error # 1 Extended offline Completed without error 00% 177 - # 2 Short offline Completed without error 00% 169 - To fix the error I also tried an "smartctl -l xselftest /dev/sda". But the result is the same. I checked the behavior with two other hard drives (different model and capacity). Triggering the test and then reading the error log shows me correctly the "In progress" test: === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1 Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error # 1 Extended offline Self-test routine in progress 60% 25726 - # 2 Extended offline Completed without error 00% 25714 - In the following I added the complete information of an "smartctl -a /dev/sda": === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Western Digital Caviar Green (AF, SATA 6Gb/s) Device Model: WDC WD30EZRX-00MMMB0 Serial Number: WD-WCAWZ1204727 LU WWN Device Id: 5 0014ee 206330b25 Firmware Version: 80.00A80 User Capacity: 3,000,592,982,016 bytes [3.00 TB] Sector Sizes: 512 bytes logical, 4096 bytes physical Device is: In smartctl database [for details use: -P show] ATA Version is: ATA8-ACS (minor revision not indicated) SATA Version is: SATA 3.0, 6.0 Gb/s (current: 1.5 Gb/s) Local Time is: Thu Dec 19 21:33:30 2013 CET SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.
