smartmontools
Hi! Today I installed smartmontools on FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p3. In the smartd.conf I changed just DEVICESCAN -a and I have in /var/log/messages: acd0: FAILURE - ATA_IDENTIFY status=51READY,DSC,ERROR error=4ABORTED Do I need to setup something else in the smartd.conf or is something wrong with my HD, please? Thanks in advance.

That's not your HD complaining, it's your CD drive. It's probably just complaining about SMART inquiries to it which aren't supported. Some way to exclude scanning that device likely exists in smartd.conf. -- Adam Vande More ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Using both ar0 and underlying ad12/ad14 'at the same time' (smartmontools)
Hi, I have a couple of FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE (as of 25/08) boxes. These have onboard RAID 'type' controllers. The OS is installed on 'ar0' (e.g. /dev/ar0s1d et'al). Additionally I've installed the smartmontools port - which monitors drive SMART attributes. Am I ok setting this up to access the 'underlying' devices for ar0 (which are also exposed by the OS) - e.g. as '/dev/ad12' and '/dev/ad14' - at the same time as obviously data is being read / written to '/dev/ar0' (which comprises both those disks as a RAID1 array)?

Smartmontools + Highpoint hptrr?
I'm trying to monitor SATA drives connected to a HighPoint RocketRAID 2340 card (hptrr driver) using smartmontools, but it doesn't seem to work. Has anyone managed to get this to work? I'm using RELENG_8 / amd64 if that makes any difference. I've tried both the smartmontools port and a direct checkout from their SVN, and I'm getting very similar error messages. From the changelog and the manpage it looks like some work has been done to make this work. /Daniel Eriksson ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Smartmontools: Load_Cycle_Count increasing rapidly
Hi, there are some reports that Ubuntu GNU/Linux 7.10 kills harddisks: http://ubuntudemon.wordpress.com/2007/10/28/laptop-hardrive-killer-bug-how-to-discover-whether-you-are-affected/ I can confirm this behaviour for FreeBSD 6.2 STABLE 200710 i386 and smartmontools-5.37_2 from the portscollection. My Load_Cycle_Count is increasing about 1 cycle per minute. So maybe Smartmontools is causing this problem?

Re: Smartmontools: Load_Cycle_Count increasing rapidly
There's a way to stop the Load_Cycle_Count growing by installing ataidle from the portscollection and disabling APM with ataidle -P 0 0 0. The Load_Cycle_Count is constant after that. This reduces battery-runtime but that's much better than destroying your harddisk.
