For what I understand - the test failed, and no previous tests have been ever run. You should be able to get the test results with smartctl -l error. Also, you may use startctl -t long again, and try -l selftest again, just to see if it updates the tests count. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
