Recently I have installed smartmontools.
*I have run the following command to determine the disk* :
# fdisk -l

*I have run the following command and it is showing the following error for all the disks [ hda, hda1, hda2, hda5 ]* :
# smartctl -l selftest /dev/hda

*And when I run the following command nothing happens and I did check syslog for message. Do I have to look elsewhere ?*

# smartctl -t short /dev/hda

SMART Error Log Version: 1
ATA Error Count: 191 (device log contains only the most recent five errors)
    CR = Command Register [HEX]
    FR = Features Register [HEX]
    SC = Sector Count Register [HEX]

Powered_Up_Time is measured from power on, and printed as
DDd+hh:mm:SS.sss where DD=days, hh=hours, mm=minutes,
SS=sec, and sss=millisec. It "wraps" after 49.710 days.

Error 191 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 10995 hours (458 days + 3 hours) When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle.
