Something to bear in mind as well: smartmon does not always report SMART values as you might think. Different values are stored in different ways by different manufacturers.
Namely, if you do the smartctl check, wait for the click, and do it again immediately after, you may find that the amount has increased by more than one. In this case, it's a pretty safe bet that the number you're seeing isn't accurate. Also, it's a pretty safe bet (though not guaranteed) that you can get the real value by dividing by the amount it increments by. So, if the value you see first is 477,296, and then it clicks once, and the value is 477,312 (difference of 16), it's a pretty safe bet that the number you're really dealing with is more along the lines of 29,831 to 29,832, in which case you have no worries. -- Hard drive spindown should be configurable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/17216 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
