I just got a Seagate 7200.12 ST31000528AS with CC34 firmware and I noticed that the smart self-tests never complete. 24 hours after starting the long test still shows "90%" remaining. This system has 3 other seagate disks of various vintages and the smart tests all run at the rate the drive says they will (randing from 1-5 hours depending on the drive). This is the only drive that seems to get stuck. Does this drive need to be initialized in some funny way to get it to act like a drive of old? I've also tried the short test and the new "Conveyance Test" and after 10 -20 minutes both tests still showed 90% remaining, so it isn't just the long test that hangs. It is all of them. $ smartd -a /dev/sda Device Model: ST31000528AS Firmware Version: CC34 User Capacity: 1,000,204,886,016 bytes Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall] ATA Version is: 8 ATA Standard is: ATA-8-ACS revision 4 Local Time is: Sun May 31 05:51:15 2009 PDT SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

The extended offline was in several of the cases the computer being rebooted after over 24 hours of the test running. Anyone else have one of these yet? Did you figure out how to get the test to run? -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
