I installed smartmontools (5.36-6ubuntu2 package) recently and (AFAIK) configured it propertly. Then I started getting messages like this (the most recent one) in my syslog: Apr 14 08:08:30 bunsen smartd[5378]: Device: /dev/sda, ATA error count increased from 59 to 61 I'm not sure whether this should be worrying or not. I think smartctl is also working properly, and the output of `smartctl -a -d ata /dev/sda` includes table [1] as well as a log about the most recent five errors (I've pasted in the last one as [2]). I've also seen some ata2 error entries in syslog [3] but they don't occur at the same time as the "error count increased" messages. I'm not sure whether I should be alarmed by this information or not, and would appreciate any help understanding it. (Please let me know if I should post more details.)

Congratulations! You have turned an 'intermittment problem' (hard to diagnose) into a 'continuous problem' (much easier). Replace the cable next -- hopefully that will fix it. Note that the problem could also be with the connector on the motherboard or hard disk, so when you change the cable take a good look at the connectors for signs of problems or abuse. Cheers, Bruce |

I replaced the cable around 3 May. For a while the problem got worse --- more of these errors, which I could notice since the computer "stalled" for a few seconds; and occasionally a complete seize-up (a few ATA errors appeared on virtual console 1 and after a few minutes I gave up and pressed reset). The only pattern I could detect was that both things happened much more often when I was sitting at the keyboard than when logged in over ssh. But I haven't had any errors or crashes for about a week and a half --- for no apparent reason! The only other thing I could think of was that I installed smartmontools and plugged in the front case fan (which had been fitted but not plugged in) at around the same time, not long after I'd installed hddtemp. So I unplugged this fan a few days ago and still no errors. The drive is now running at 30--36 C, as it used to do, rather than at 20--26 C, as it did with the extra fan running. (Crazy idea) That's not too cool, is it? |

On Wednesday the drive temperature hit 39 C in the afternoon (hot weather) and I couldn't stand it any longer, so I shut the machine down, plugged the extra case fan in, and restarted it at 18:52. Half an hour later, I got the errors in [1] --- but nothing since then. Today I've run `smartctl -t long -d ata /dev/sda` and later `smartctl -l selftest -d ata /dev/sda` with the happy-looking results in [2] and `smartctl -a -d ata /dev/sda` with the results excerpted in [3]. Unfortunately I don't know how to read that last table --- is it alarming?

OK, that leaves me with two questions. 1. At what temperature should I be concerned? 2. Is it possible for an additional case fan to mess up the HDD performance in the ways I've observed? (BTW, I didn't install the extra fan --- it came with the computer but had been left unplugged.) Thanks, Adam |

At what temperature should I be concerned? That depends on the drive, and how long you really expect it to last. Cheap desktop ATA/SATA drives are usually rated for operation at 55°C, but for longevity I'd prefer them running no higher than 45°C on average, up to 50°C briefly in hot weather. Enterprise-class drives are usually rated to run at higher temperatures, but in an enterprise environment you probably want to be more cautious, so still aim for an average of about 45-50°C. If you're using cheap drives in an enterprise RAID try and keep them below 40°C, as you are. > 2. Is it possible for an additional case fan to mess up the HDD > performance in the ways I've observed? Possible because fan motors may make more electrical noise than some other things, unlikely unless there's something wrong with your cabling (either outright faulty or it's very close to operating margins e.g. "rounded" or very long ATA cables). Just my $0.02, of course! Cheers, John. |

With newer versions of smartmontools, you can get temperature warnings per email or whatever. Personally, I have "-W 0,40,45" in my smartd.conf. And don't undercool your drives either. The recent google study surprisingly showed more disk failures for 20 degrees drive temperature than for the range 30-40 degrees, if I remember correctly. > > 2.

I've already replaced the cable once, and it didn't make any difference! (The old and new cables were both less than a foot long.) |

Hello, On one server PC, I found that smartctl 5.36 of Fedora Core 6 can work with SATA Disk attached with LSI HBA card but not for official 5.37 I compiled locally. Official 5.37 version: [root@sam smartmontools-5.37]# ./smartctl -i /dev/sdb smartctl version 5.37 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-6 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Distribution 5.36 version: Probable ATA device behind a SAT layer Try an additional '-d ata' or '-d sat' argument.

Thanks in advance, Sam |

I found that it's 5.37 version upgrade itself finally. In 5.37, we need to add '-d scsi' in the command to tell it clearly - Now pls follow scsi channel to finish the test process. Before 5.37 version, it can automatically detect the test target property. Ummm... Here is the workable case. [root@sam image-smart]# ./smartctl -i -d scsi /dev/sda smartctl version 5.37 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-6 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Serial number: 9LS0Q7QM Device type: disk Local Time is: Mon Jul 9 10:13:09 2007 CST Device supports SMART and is Enabled Temperature Warning Disabled or Not Supported [root@sam image-smart]# Thanks, Sam |

Sam, What happens on 5.37 with smartctl -i -d sat /dev/sdb ? And with '-d ata'? Cheers, Bruce On Mon, 9 Jul 2007, sam song wrote: >> Hello, >> >> Sorry the first post was a little mess.
