[...] Suspecting drive failure, I've tried running S.M.A.R.T. tests using GSmartControl. Attempting the extended test which requires about 6 hours, three times it has stopped saying 'User aborted', but I never touched it, and I ensured there was no power-saving that would have messed it up. Twice it only made it to 10~20%, the other time it got 80% through overnight but then bottled out again. Here's the log file: http://paste.opensuse.org/4cc41f6b
Honestly, I don't know to reliably disable all available power-saving options. Especially if the drive is connected via USB. A quick google search confirms the problem you're seeing, e.g.: https://ddumont.wordpress.com/2010/03/15/workaround-for-aborted-smart-test-f...
I know these SMART tests have a tendency to show things like 'old-age' and 'pre-fail' on almost any drive, so I don't know if that's really relevant, but does anything spring out as worrisome here? [...]
Looks fine. The "Multi_Zone_Error_Rate" raw value is not 0 but still very low. However, some attributes are only updated "offline". But your auto offline data collection is disabled and you never completed an offline test. I would try to enable the former by: smartctl --smart=on --offlineauto=on --saveauto=on /dev/xxx Gruß Jan -- Law, without force is impotent. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
