Custom Query (1552 matches)

When I install smartmontools via MacPorts (default build), the 'smartd' daemon is automatically registered as a StartupItem. After that, it will periodically - every 30 minutes - query my harddisk and log the following:

Oct 14 00:38:05 Schleppmich smartd[50]: Device: IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/SATA@B/AppleMCP79AHCI PRT0@0/IOAHCIDevice@0/AppleAHCIDiskDriver/IOAHCIBlockStorageDevice, failed to read SMART Attribute Data

during which my computer freezes for about five to ten seconds (possibly because not HDD access is possible). Removing smartmontools and killing smartd also stopped the repeated freeze.

Issue: Querying SMART attributes should not freeze the computer (I am running several Linux machines where smartmontools and smartd work fine without freeze).

Also, 'smartctl' will report SMART as "disabled" when querying the disk, although OS X reports the SMART status as 'OK'.

show can i get smart info?

Currently, the -o on option enable the Automatic Offline Testing for every 4 hours. It is hard-coded constant.

I know the concept of Automatic Offline Testing is obsolete, some vendors doesn't implement such command at all, while others accept it, but consider it NOOP.

Despite of it, on the drives where implemented as non-void would be nice to have a way how to request different time.

I would like to introduce backward compatible option

-o on[,N]

where N specify the time in the form <number>[<unit>]

Unit may be 's' for seconds, 'm' for minutes, 'h' for hours. Seconds assumed when not present.

Missing N is assumed to be 4h to maintain backward compatibility.

The time is rounded to nearest lower available value (with exception that 1-4s are rounded to 5s). Such value is reported back to user in place of original message

SMART Automatic Offline Testing Enabled every four hours.
