smartctl reads wrongly hours instead of minutes attribute 9. === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Device Model: Maxtor 6Y080L0 Serial Number: Y2M956HE Firmware Version: YAR41BW0 Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall] ATA Version is: 7 ATA Standard is: ATA/ATAPI-7 T13 1532D revision 0 Local Time is: Sun Sep 28 01:03:23 2003 EEST SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

Please use the -v 9,minutes option to smartctl, and the corresponding Directive in /etc/smartd.conf I'll add this drive to the database for the smartmontools 5.19 release so that this is done automatically. Please note that Maxtor has some bugs in Attribute #9 -- see the FAQ section of the smartmontools home page.
This drive is in the smartmontools database starting with release 5.19. The bug report should be closed.
