Hello Mates,
today i found in my logdigest the following:
Messages matching keywords in the "alarming" list: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- (1 lines) Mar 7 12:01:52 linux-eh47 smartd[3228]: Device: /dev/sdb [SAT], SMART Prefailure Attribute: 10 Spin_Retry_Count changed from 231 to 232
What says me that?
==== http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T ==== 10 0A Spin Retry Count Count of retry of spin start attempts. This attribute stores a total count of the spin start attempts to reach the fully operational speed (under the condition that the first attempt was unsuccessful). An increase of this attribute value is a sign of problems in the hard disk mechanical subsystem. ==== Watch closely, keep your backups up to date and prepare to get a replacement. -dnh -- / "Have I mentioned yet that Carlton Gardens is amazingly *green* \ [ when it's raining?
