Hello. I have one question. If I command "smartctl -a /dev/sda", smartctl returns me a "Self-test log" that following; SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1 Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error # 1 Short offline Completed without error 00% 1363 - # 2 Short offline Completed without error 00% 1353 - # 3 Short offline Completed without error 00% 1344 - # 4 Short offline Completed without error 00% 1333 - # 5 Short offline Completed without error 00% 1324 - # 6 Extended offline Aborted by host 90% 1315 - # 7 Short offline Completed without error 00% 1312 - This(Especially # 6) make me irritated. Can I erase this log? If I can, please tell me how to do it. Or, if I can't, please tell me why not. Thank you for your reading! |

You can not erase the log. But it only holds 21 self-test entries. So if you do another 16 self-tests, then the 'Aborted by host' one will disappear off the end of the list.

Thank you for your tip! By the way, why can't I remove the log manually? |
