I have some plain old 3.5" SATA 3.0TB drives: === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Hitachi Deskstar 7K3000 Device Model: Hitachi HDS723030ALA640 Serial Number: MK0301Y6544444 LU WWN Device Id: 5 000cca 225e755db Firmware Version: MKAOA800 User Capacity: 3,000,592,982,016 bytes [3.00 TB] Sector Size: 512 bytes logical/physical Device is: In smartctl database [for details use: -P show] ATA Version is: 8 ATA Standard is: ATA-8-ACS revision 4 Local Time is: Mon Jul 9 16:13:08 2012 UTC SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability. SMART support is: Enabled So I initiate a long selftest: /usr/local/sbin/smartctl -t long /dev/da0 === START OF OFFLINE IMMEDIATE AND SELF-TEST SECTION === Sending command: "Execute SMART Extended self-test routine immediately in off-line mode". Drive command "Execute SMART Extended self-test routine immediately in off-line mode" successful. Testing has begun. Please wait 255 minutes for test to complete. Test will complete after Mon Jul 9 18:53:51 2012 Ok, fine. But then I run: smartctl -l selftest /dev/da0 === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1 No self-tests have been logged. [To run self-tests, use: smartctl -t] So ... why does an apparently successful "long" test not actually get initiated ? Thank you. |

Please check the "Self-test execution status:" line in smartctl -c (or -a, -x) output. Thanks, Christian |

Ok, I see this: SMART Extended Self-test Log Version: 1 (1 sectors) Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error # 1 Extended offline Completed without error 00% 64 Is that the result of the test I did ? And if I ran another: /usr/local/sbin/smartctl -t long /dev/da0 then I would see two entries under that heading ? |

You could try with "-t short" which typically completes after a few minutes. |
