I get this for hdb:
9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 099 099 000 Old_age Always - 646543
which I assume is in minutes, so that would be almost 449 days.
The errors occured at day 224, so that is pretty old.
What brand of drive is this? Some drives keep the power_on_hours in minutes.
hdb is a Samsung.
hdb is the slave on my IDE bus, currently with FC2.
hda is the master with windoze running idle 99% of the time, just mounting it
from FC2 from time to time.
hdf was the slave with hdb, when hdb still had windoze on it.
OK, so for hdf we have:
5368 hours = 224 days
9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 237 237 000 Old_age Always - 16981
16981 hours = 707.5 days
So these errors are pretty old too.
But I get confused by the Power_On_Hours. Can this value be altered in some way ?
hdb has 449 days and hdf 707 days, but hdb is in use for a much longer time...
This could be buggy firmware. I see on the smartmontools page that, for example, some Maxtor drives did not update the timer when the drive was in idle mode, and that caused the timer to show a lot less time than the drive actually had on it.
Now it's getting even more confusing. There are 5 new errors for hdb, 3 hours after the ones I posted yesterday, so the hour count in the error messages and the power_on_hours seem to have no relation. On the other hand I had to power-cycle my machine again, since it hangs when applying iptables rules every few days. So that might be the reason for the new messages. Anyway, I added hdb in smartd.conf and set up email notification. I'm doing rsync backups to a remote machine on my LAN every 2 days, so I'm sleeping pretty well :-)
Thanks a lot for your help Randy! Very much appreciated!
Cheers, Hannes.
