View Previous SMART test results

[PhilZJ81]

I have one of my 6 drives on my RAIDZ2 array showing some Raw_read_error_rates and Seek_Error_Rates

I have a scheduled short smart test and was hoping to view the results of prior tests and see how that value is increasing.

I ran the line:
smartctl -a /dev/ada3

which Produced:

My other drives in the RaidZ2 look more like this

What do you guys think?

thanks in advance!

I think you need to use code tags when you post SMART results. But other than that, I'd guess that ada3 is also a Seagate drive?

Sorry about that, post is fixed.

as far as hard drives, ada0 is the seagate (last result on the bottom)

ada1 through ada6 are HGST 6tb NAS drives

Another Smart test ran last night and now my results on ada3 show up like this:

the raw_read_error_rate and Seek_Error_Rate are back to 0

What do you guys make of it?

Also, what do you guys think about the Seagate (lowest set of results in my first post).

 

[Robert Trevellyan]

SMART attributes don't report the result of SMART tests. A SMART test either passes or fails. SMART attributes are updated all the time by the drive's firmware.

 

[BigDave]

SMART attributes are updated all the time by the drive's firmware

And the settings are adjustable to some degree...

 

[MrToddsFriends]

To have a history of SMART attribute values available I wrote a small script which runs 'smartctl -a' on all mass storage devices and is run regularly (weekly) via a cron job. I don't know if there's a more elegant way to achieve this.

Please delete duplicate post, thnx

Is that something I can do? if so let me know. I only see in my thread options to Edit title or add a poll. Thanks

OK, thanks I've added an email there

Your script emails the output of the smartctl -a ? Would that be something similar to what BigDave posted?

What do you guys make on my HGST (ada3) that went from displaying some read errors and now that raw_value went back down to zero? That normal?
Also, what do you guys make of the Seagate, here is the latest output of a short test:

Your script emails the output of the smartctl -a ? Would that be something similar to what BigDave posted?

No, my script just gathers data (text files) for future reference. Evaluating those data, raising an alarm and sending mails is out of its scope. $devices and $target_folder would have to be modified by anyone that would like to use it (warning: shell scripting amateur work ahead).

Code:

#!/bin/bash

devices="ada0 ada1 ada2 ada3 ada4"
target_folder=~root/althome/smart

mydate="$(date +%Y%m%d.%H%M%S)"

if [ ! -d $target_folder/smartctl_"$mydate" ]; then
  mkdir $target_folder/smartctl_"$mydate"
fi

for device in $devices
do
  smartctl -a /dev/"$device" > "$target_folder"/smartctl_"$mydate"/smartctl_"$device".log
done

SMART attributes don't report the result of SMART tests. A SMART test either passes or fails. SMART attributes are updated all the time by the drive's firmware.

Thanks for clarifying where those attributes come from. That does answer my question about SMART test result history, since I can see the last several results and the hours on the disk.

But could someone chime in on the other two question:
Questions for the HGST drive; is it normal for those Seek and Read errors to go back to zero, or is that something to be concerned about.
Question for the Seagate drive; are those values high and should i be concerned about that drive.

thanks

It's probably normal for the Seagate drives: http://www.users.on.net/~fzabkar/HDD/Seagate_SER_RRER_HEC.html ;)
