Now lets wait. But I'm still surprised by the rise of the temperature:( It's my only HD that behaves like this. Thanks, patpro. Hi all, I'm facing a strange behaviour in my FreeBSD server. I've added a brand new WDC WD10EADS hard drive in the server. It's supposed to be eco-friendly (cooler).

But during selftest, its temperature rises from 39°C to 44-45°C for few hours. You can take a look here: /dev/ad4 -H -m root -a -o on -S on -s (S/./././02 L/././6/03) /dev/ad6 -H -m root -a -o on -S on -s (S/./././02 L/././6/03) It yields to a second question: why does ad6 gets hot twice a day, when smartctl config is supposed to trigger only one selftest per day?

SMART support is: Enabled patpro. Hdparm was considered. There is a case for being part of hdparm/blktool, as it is yet another drive parameter and it would presumably be handy. However, these particular parameters relate to drive reliabity and how the drive deals with error conditions.

So, like SMART tries to predict failure, ERC gives some control when failure occurs. Consequently, I do think it is related to SMART and should be part of the same tool even though it isn't traditional SMART. Also, technically, ERC is defined as a sub command of SMART Command Transport. Although I've not implemented it, this includes another failure recovery/detection option - long blocks, ie, sectors with an appended CRC. Obviously this.really. needs kernel support to be useful, but I do think it is another example of where the smart in SMART is going.

Hmmm, don't you think this would better fit to hdparm, blktool or the like? I'd say ERC has nothing to do with S.M.A.R.T. At all but with drive configuration - which, in turn, is the domain of the tools named above. just my 2 cents Mario.

Dear smartmontools developers! Until the very recent version of smartmontools (5.39), SMART through USB was not possible on Mac OS X, because the Mac OS X kernel does not support SCSI pass through. That was the reasoning of Christian Franke. Meanwhile I googled for: And found a person, who wrote a SCSI pass through driver for Mac OS X: In the site's comment section I asked as Stefan Nowak whether this code could be used for passing through SMART: And the developer answered within the site's comment section as wagerlabs, that it should work: I don't know low-level coding, otherwise I would offer my help. Please, dear Darwin related smartmontools developers: Could you built SMART through USB support into the Mac version of smartmontools? Regards, Stefan Nowak.

Attachments: Hi, Attached is a patch against CVS to get and set the Error Recovery Control parameters in recentish ATA drives. This is the standardised equivalent of Western Digital's TLER, as used in their enterprise SATA drives for RAID configurations, and editable by their WDTLER.EXE utility, mainly for use with non-enterprise SATA drives. Although ERC is now part of the ATA spec, there are no Linux programs to change it, hence this patch. The meat of this patch extends the WRITELOG command to return the ATA registers back to the higher level code. With this the ERC value, which is returned in SectorCount and LBALow, can be queried. To support this, have also extended the man page, the command line options and the SCT capabilities reporting.

This has been tested on Hitachi HDP725050GLA360 (500GB), Western Digital WD20EADS (2TB GP) and Western Digital WD2002FYPS (2TB RE4-GP). It has also been tested to not break existing functionality.

Ata, sat and hpt devices are supported. Unlike WDTLER, changes to the ERC options are lost after a reset or power-loss. To work with High Point controllers (I tested the RR2320), the driver must be patched to pass back the results of a TASKFILE ioctl. This small patch is also attached. Richard +- -+ Biological Sciences, Room 231 +- -+. Assuming there are 255 heads (aka tracks per cylinder) and 63 sectors/track, one can convert CHS geometries to LBA numbers as follows: LBA = (C x 255 x 63) + (H x 63) + (S - 1) Partition size (in sectors) = End LBA - Start LBA + 1 = (Ce - Cs) x 255 x 63 + (He - Hs) x 63 + (Se - Ss) + 1 where e/s are the end/start values of CHS.

BTW, I notice that there appears to be a hidden area between partitions 1 and 2. It starts at 7/0/1 (LBA 112455) and ends at 7/2/59 (LBA 112639). Its size is 185 sectors. I wonder what Dell hides in there.

I've only ever used the Windows version of dd, but I expect you could extract the hidden area as follows: dd if=ddrescue.bin of=hidden.bin bs=512 count=185 skip=112455 -Franc Al Grant wrote: The following is taken from testdisk on a ddrescue.bin file and shows the partition structure.

Close - you need to know what the pretend geometry is (lets guess at something like 38913/255/63 - since most things use 255/63 these days), and also that cylinders and heads are numbered from zero, but sectors are numbered from 1 (just to make things a bit more difficult), so: The first sector on the disk is 0 0 1, and start of partition 1 is 63 sectors-in (0 0 1 to 0 0 63 contains the mbr). The end of partition 1 is at track 6, head 254, sector 63. At the end of the 63rd sector of the 7th track on the 255th head. So the size of partition 1 = (7. 255. 63) - (1.

63) = 112392 Ta, Tim. Well, my first observation appears to be spectacularly wrong. The ATA error count of 7941 (= 0x1F05) appears to be a genuine 16-bit count. Your second drive has a count of 893 which has an uninteresting hex value of 0x037d.

Hi All Apologies for this being slightly OT, but smartctl and drive geometry seem to go hand in hand. The following is taken from testdisk on a ddrescue.bin file and shows the partition structure.

Attachments: Dear Franc, Thanks you very much for you thorough analysis of my logs. As far as I understand from your words ('the errors are soft') my disk is not in excellent condition but it is in an acceptable state and I should not throw it away.

This laptop has been heavily used since one year and had travelled a lot. But except for issues in the suspend-to-ram process (which occurred few times), the hard disk was always switched off during transportation, i.e., during strong/dangerous vibrations. Attached you can find the logs for the second hard drive: same vendor and model but mounted inside another laptop. This second laptop was used much less than mine (it is the 'spare' laptop of our group). The attached output is generated by 'smartctl -a /dev/sda'.
