Re: a smartctl question

Bruce Allen — 2013-05-13T13:14:54

Dear Jim,

Thanks for your inquiry.  I don't think we have corresponded in the past, but I am aware of (and grateful for) for the work that you have done in T13 and other committees over the years.  I am delighted that T13 management is interested in working with smartmontools developers to help keep smartmontools up-to-date.

I'm hoping that Doug Gilbert and/or Christian Franke are interesting in taking this up.  They are on the smartmontools support mailing list, and I am hoping that they will respond in the coming days.

Cheers,
Bruce

a smartctl question

James C Hatfield — 2013-05-10T19:57:35

Good afternoon !

I saw your name in the manpage for smartctl on sourceforge.net.

I am the vice-chair of the INCITS T13 committee and wanted to know if you
would be interested updating smartctl from ATA8-ACS to ACS-3 ?
ACS-3 has added more device statistics, and the new Device Statistics
Notification (DSN) feature, and some other relevant features.

Would you be interested in discussing the new features with me ?

Thank You !!!

Power_on_Hour meaning ?

Toerless Eckert — 2013-05-09T02:12:19

Hi folks

On WD USB disks, i see Power_on_hours being very low, eg: counting up
only when the disk is active. Eg: one some archive disk that's 24/7
connected to a 27/7 PC just a few weeks of Power_on_Hour after 3 years,
which is as little as i accessed the disk.

Does this mean that the USB-SATA controller in the external case is
actually disconnecting the disk from power ? I would have to open up
one of the boxes and put it to a voltmeter otherwise ;-)

I was hoping that this would be a real good thing for the life expectancy
of the disk because even all the disc elecronics would be without power.
So worst case if the USB adapter fails/expires one can always ge to the
disk hook it up again and get to the data. On a SATA disk used natively
in a NAS/PC i guess the drive electronics could also expire (probably
not that often, mostly it's going to be surface issues, i know).

Have folks experience with Power_on_hours on internal disks ? Eg: Seen
any cases where in a NAS or PC or for some type of disk this count

Re: Path & e-Mail issues with smartd onWindows

Maksym Ruchko — 2013-05-09T17:52:16

Hi,
 
I hit the same issue, thanks a lot Don for identifiying the cause and attaching working smartd_warning.cmd
for the "The system cannot find the path specified" smartd mail sending problem on windows.
 
I edited the mentioned cmd file in a slightly different way, 
instead of excluding %DATE% part from the temp file name I just replaced / char with empty char, so date part will look like YYYYMMDD - no separators. I  believe this better preserves the original idea of the script.
 
This is done by replacing %DATE% with %DATE:/=% in the same two lines.

Please find my version of script attached.
 
Tested on WinXP 32 bit and Win7 64 bit.

Re: Inexpensive USB 3.0 -> SATA Dock that works with Smartmontools?

Ken Mandelberg — 2013-05-06T13:29:57

I'm still looking for a USB 3.0 dock available in the US that works with 
Smartmontools on Linux. The only thing close I can find on the list are 
Sharkoon docks, and the only one thats available in the US is


    Sharkoon SATA QUICKPORT XT/XT USB3.0

which is not on the list. The spec sheets tell you nothing other than 
its supported on windows and mac. Sharkoon support never replies to my 
questions.

Anyone know if this would work with smartmontools on Linux?

Re: Compiling from VC10 fails: svnversion.h and config.h missing

Christian Franke — 2013-05-05T13:39:34

To build smartmontools on Windows, you could either use Cygwin 
(http://cygwin.com/) or MinGW+MSYS (http://mingw.org/).

For Cygwin, you need to install the following packages in addition to 
"base" installation: automake, make, mingw64-i686-gcc-g++, and 
optionally mingw64-x86_64-gcc-g++ for 64-bit builds. This would also 
allow to build the four missing files for VC10. See section 10 of 
INSTALL file for "./configure" and "make" parameters.

Note that VC10 project files are included in SVN because I occasionally 
use VC10 (Express) for debugging new code. The actual smartmontools 
Windows packages available at sourceforge were built with MinGW-w64 
(http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/) toolchain.

I know svnversion.h and config.h should be generated by configure.ac script but I can't figure out how to do it on a Windows system (XP). I want to compile a build from the source code provided in the VC10. Any way you could suggest?

Thanks for the fix. Cynthia Flynn already sent me a similar fix (not

I will release a fixed Windows build soon after Sourceforge finished 
upgrading the smartmontools project to their new platform.

Thanks,

Path & e-Mail issues with smartd on Windows

Don Brinson — 2013-04-30T20:48:08

Hi Christian,

After installing smartd v6.1, I experienced the same problems described by
Cynthia Flynn -- no email messages and an error message saying "The system
cannot find the path specified."  (Sample in the first attachment.)  I
experienced the same problem on both WinXP and Win7 systems (I don't have
any systems running Vista or Win8).

Upon looking in smartd_warning.cmd, which was new to v6.1, I found the
cause of the error messages.  The system variable %DATE% is used in
constructing the name for a temporary file, thus creating a file name that
includes slashes.  The command interpretter then replaces the slashes with
back-slashes and treats the various parts of the file name as a series of
folders and subfolders, and then complains that it cannot find the
specified path!

To see this in action, enter the three following commands:
    set test=test-%DATE%
    set test
    dir "%test%"
Notice that in the third command, the slashes are reversed and it is
treating the filename as a path name rather th

Re: smartd error

Christian Franke — 2013-04-29T16:08:52

Your smartd version is probably very old. This message was used by 
smartd 5.37 (Dec 2006) and 5.38 (Mar 2008) and removed in later versions.



This is harmless and probably already fixed, see:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/FAQ#MyATAdriveisnotinthesmartctlsmartddatabase




Please update smartmontools and check output of smartctl -x /dev/sdb.

Thanks,
Christian

This is as expected: smartctl prints info about the logical SCSI drive 
emulated by the controller.

I'm not aware of any pass-through functionality for IBM RAID controllers 
under Windows.
There is a small chance that this controller's Windows driver supports 
CSMI, please try:

   smartctl -r ioctl,2 --scan

Re: compile error

Christian Franke — 2013-04-28T20:57:33

The above --host argument uses the CPU-MFR-OS triple from MinGW, but CC 
and CCX arguments use MinGW-w64. The configure script set WINDRES 
variable to empty because WINDRES was not specified and 
x86_64-pc-mingw32-windres (MinGW resource compiler) was not found.This 
is likely because you only have MinGW-w64 installed.

Try --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32, CC and CXX could be omitted then.

See section 10 of INSTALL file.

Re: Incorrect path to cmd.exe used for Windows version of smartd

Cynthia Flynn — 2013-04-23T02:45:02

We don't use Win7, but the problem I reported occurred on two different 
WinXP-SP3 systems, including one which was a fresh install.


Thanks, that should have occurred to me.


Our workaround was to uninstall v6.1-1 and install v5.43-1, so I no 
longer have a testbed for this. However, there were no Process Monitor 
entries citing smartd_warning.cmd other than the ones included in my 
first email.


I would imagine so, but I didn't pay attention to that. It's running as 
a standard Windows service and certainly v5.43-1 runs as SYSTEM.


No. And note that simply rolling back to v5.43-1 works perfectly, so the 
problem lies amongst the differences with v6.1-1, not in my system 
configurations.


Only if v6.1-1 requires a different system configuration from v5.4x.


I tried copying blat.exe to that bin directory and I changed my 
configuration file to remove the explicit path to blat.exe. The 
documentation said that should work, but it did not. My assumption was 
therefore that the problem had nothing to do
