Hi Jamie I am trying to set up a "SMART Drive Check" monitor but I keep getting the status "No such Drive". In the setup screen - at the field "Drive to Check" there is a drop down box with the only option being "Other". I have put "sda" in the box to the right of "other". I suspect this is not really right. I also had problems getting the "smart drive status" webmin screen to work - but solved it by changing the Module Config Parameter: "Force ATA Query Mode" to "Yes". Now it correctly displays the smart drive staus for Scsi Drive a and scsi drive B. Maybe this is related to the SMARt Drive Check Monitor? Any ideas why I can't correctly select the drives in the monitor set up screen? Ricahrd. |

The issue with the Status module not showing all drives is a bug in Webmin 1.441 and older - it incorrectly finds only IDE drives. This is fixed in the 1.443 development version, and all future releases. I just noticed this myself a few weeks ago when setting up a new server that had SATA drives that appear as SCSI under Linux. - Jamie On Dec 19, 2008, at 9:57 PM, Richard Chapman <rch...@aa...> wrote: > Hi Jamie > > I am trying to set up a "SMART Drive Check" monitor but I keep getting > the status "No such Drive". > In the setup screen - at the field "Drive to Check" there is a drop > down > box with the only option being "Other".

Thanks Jamie. Great news. Do you suggest I wait for the next release - or try the development version. In the latter case - where do I find the development version? Richard.

The devel version is quite stable, so it is safe to use. You can get it from www.webmin.com/devel.html - Jamie On Dec 20, 2008, at 5:51 PM, Richard Chapman <rch...@aa...> wrote: > Thanks Jamie. > > Great news.

Thanks Jamie I have installed the development version 1.443 - and the Smart Monitoring module works fine. I still have a minor issue - and would value your opinion... My SMART drive status for both drives of the raid 1 array show errors logged. I'm not sure how "normal" this is. One drive has 68 errors logged and the other 459 errors logged. These numbers haven't changes over the last week or so. I don't really know when or how these errors arose - but I have run several "Extended Self Tests" recently - and they have all been error free. If I select "Check Error Log Too" in the Smart drive check module in webmin monitoring - the monitor shows "Down" status, presumably because of these errors. I want the monitor to let me know if these error numbers change - but I want it to ignore the status quot. I haven't found any way to reset the SMART error count, through webmin or otherwise. I haven't found any way to set a threshold in the smart drive check monitor. Is it abnormal to have a non-zero error count in the smart drive status? Is there some way to get a monitor to ignore pre-existing errors and only notify me of changes to the error count. Thanks Jamie Richard.

You might want to ask some lists with more expertise in SMART about what those error counts really mean. On my systems with SMART then are at zero, but it is quite possible that an non-increasing count means that the disk has some bad sectors which are being safely ignored. > If I select "Check Error Log Too" in the Smart drive check module in > webmin monitoring - the monitor shows "Down" status, presumably because > of these errors.

I'll add an option in the next Webmin release to only alert if the error count increases .. - Jamie |
