Jan 8 18:34:14 t430s smartd[560]: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], 24 Offline uncorrectable sectors every half hour Turns out that I can cause that number to go up very quickly just by doing dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null From reading one of the posts at http://www.myce.com/review/ocz-vector-ssd-review-64988/IOMeter-test-results-5/ it seems this counter is actually "Host reads (GB)" which seems to make sense. Looks like smartctl needs a database entry for this device.
Please test this update: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/smartmontools-6.0-2.fc18 If your disk is not in database: > === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === > Device Model: OCZ-VECTOR ... > Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall] try updating drive database by executing: update-smart-drivedb if it does not help, then there is no record in upstream repository and it will have to be added. Then please follow these steps: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/FAQ#MyATAdriveisnotinthesmartctlsmartddatabase and send that information to email address from that link or attach it here and I'll do it. Thanks
OCZ Vector was added 2013-01-23 to upstream drivedb.h: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/changeset/3752 http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/changeset/3753 Please run /usr/sbin/update-smart-drivedb and report the test result.
yes, works after updating.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
