smartctl test error
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 === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1 Num Test_DescriptionStatus Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error # 1 Short offline Completed without error 00% 15730 - # 2 Extended offlineAborted by host 90% 11081 - # 3 Short offline Completed without error 00% 11080 - *And when I run the following command nothing happens and I did check syslog for message.

For example: Linux Harddisk Monitoring with SmartMonTools (smartctl) http://www.captain.at/howto-linux-smartmontools-smartctl.php Monitoring Hard Disks with SMART http://www.linuxjournal.com/magazine/monitoring-hard-disks-smart BTW, I keep smartmontools daemon running and monitoring the disks status. Greetings, I have started smartd by uncommenting the line in /etc/smartd.conf and /etc/default/smartmontools : # First (primary) ATA/IDE hard disk. Monitor all attributes, enable # automatic online data collection, automatic Attribute autosave, and # start a short self-test every day between 2-3am, and a long self test # Saturdays between 3-4am. /dev/hda -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03) # uncomment to start smartd on system startup start_smartd=yes I will look into the links provided by you. thanks Camaleón for the links and reminding me to start smart daemon.

This is showing a sector that it couldn't correct the errors on, and would have been reported back to the operating system as an I/O error. You've never completed an extended offline test, try "smartctl -t long /dev/hda", and check the results after 30 minutes with "smartctl -a /dev/hda". At the beginning of the output, you can see if the test has completed yet next to the "Self-test execution status" field. After the test completes, the results will be near the end of the output, under "SMART Self-test log".** *the output of the fdisk* : Script started on Thursday 19 August 2010 02:08:46 PM IST vishnuvardhan:/home/vishnu# fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40007761920 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4864 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xa1eca1ec Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1467937584036 83 Linux /dev/hda246804864 1486012+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 4680 4864 1485981 82 Linux swap / Solaris vishnuvardhan:/home/vishnu# exit Script done on Thursday 19 August 2010 02:08:53 PM IST. I have tested the disk with the command provided by you but the errors that cannot be corrected are bothering me. I will do some online search possibly with the key-words and anything suprising pops up I will post here. key-words : HTS541040G9AT00+smartctl+errors. The results of the long test are given below. I am using IBM Thinkpad R51 2887-MQ5 laptop. Long test one [1] [ there was a power cut in the middle of the command execution ] : pastebin.com/B2ASzjSu [ the link is valid for one month ] Long test two [2] [ this time there is no power cut and closed all the applications ] : pastebin.com/vZ6kgjzu [ the link is valid for one month ] thanks for your time, vishnuvardhan.
help me for downloading debina-user mailing list on a windows machine
I don't have an active internet connection in my room. I cannot install and use VM in internet cafe. However, I can download as much as I want. I have subscribed to mailing list and I am learning a lot. In fact, I did not reuested for help to mailing list, saving a little time who are helping out in the mailing list ;-) . I want to download debian-user mailing list from February 1,2009 to July 10,2010 on a windows machine. I have full set of installion DVD's and I can install packages on my debian machine.
