ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME          FLAG     VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE      UPDATED  WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE

VALUE:
- 1byte; 0-255; values 0, 254, and 255 are reserved; value 253 usually always means "Not Used Yet"
- Mostly VALUE starts at 100 (=perfect) and drops to worst case of 1
- Some attributes start at 200
- For some calculated values like Raw_Read_Error_Rate, VALUE can be more than 100, which is ok.
WORST:
- The worst value ever recorded
THRESH:
- lowest value that is still ok. A value below THRESH issues a warning/failure
TYPE:
- Pre-fail: a critical attribute, one that participates in the overall SMART health assessment
- Old_age: noncritical attribute, related to normal aging, normal wear and tear of the drive.

Serious Problems

#005 0x05 Reallocated Sectors Count > 0

Wenn dieser Wert regelmäßig (z. B. täglich oder wöchentlich) steigt, dann wird Festplatte bald ausfallen. Dass eine ein paar Jahre alte Festplatte hier ein paar defekte Sektoren aufgelistet hat, ist normal.

#197 0xC5 Current Pending Sector Count > 0

Dieser Wert sollte immer Null sein oder nur kurz ein paar Defekte Sektoren aufweisen. In diesem Fall ist der Wert alarmierend hoch. Daher die Festplatte kann die Sektoren nicht mehr reparieren bzw. austauschen.

#198 0xC6 Uncorrectable Sector Count =Offline_Uncorrectable > 0

Hier genauso wie bei Wert 197. 

Die Werte 197 und 198 sind die wichtigsten Werte. Ich würde die Festplatte sobald wie möglich austauschen, sobald diese Werte sich erhöhen und nicht mehr auf 0 zurück gehen.

196 Reallocated_Event_Count
200 Multi_Zone_Error_Rate

Diagnosis

Infos about drive + test results
- smartctl -a /dev/sda
Short test (2min)
- smartctl -t short /dev/sda
Long test (2hours)
- smartctl -t long /dev/sda
- smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda
  - = Status report

Installation & Setup

apt-get install smartmontools
vi /etc/default/smartmontools
- ```
start_smartd=yes
```
service smartmontools start
Testing email notify:
- vi /etc/smartd.conf
- Add " -M test" to line starting with "DEVICESCAN ..."
- service smartmontools restart
- -> Email should be sent
- Then remove " -M test" and restart again
Update database
- update-smart-drivedb
If your external USB harddisk is not supported, see below for solution

Fix unknown USB harddisks

Example: Seagate Backup+ Hub 6TB

lsusb
- Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0bc2:ab38 Seagate RSS LLC Backup Plus Hub (Mass Storage)
  Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0bc2:ab45 Seagate RSS LLC Backup+ Hub
  Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
  Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0bc2:ab44 Seagate RSS LLC Backup Plus Hub
  Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
vi /etc/default/grub
- GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset vga=771 ipv6.disable=1 fsck.repair=yes usb_storage.quirks=0x0bc2:0xab38:u"
update-grub
reboot

Now smartctl works.
