Getting daily SMART errors for a new HDD

[plato79]

Hi,

I'm getting this error every day for a HDD I have:

Device: /dev/sdt [SAT], Failed SMART usage Attribute: 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct.

Device info:
WDC WD60EFRX-68L0BN1, S/N:WD-WXRBLABLABLA, WWN:etc.etc.etc.etc.etc..., FW:82.00A82, 6.00 TB

When I check it with smartctl -t short /dev/sdt I got nothing..

Also attribute 5 is reallocated sector count, and it is 0.. So what may be wrong with this disk?

hi,

can you post full output from smartctl -a /dev/sdt?

There is also smartctl -t long /dev/sdt if you want a full test of the drive. Maybe there are some bad sectors at a area of the disk that the short test didn't tested.

I'm not sure that these messages are reliable anymore.. Currently I get daily messages on /dev/sdk. Although I replaced this drive recently with a 12 TB disk. Checking the message, it clearly shows a past date but proxmox sends this message every day, like it's testing this every day. The message is as follows:

This message was generated by the smartd daemon running on:

host name: pve-nas
DNS domain: ----

The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:

Device: /dev/sdk [SAT], Failed SMART usage Attribute: 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct.

Device info:

WDC WD60EFRX-68L0BN1, S/N:WD-WX11BLABLABLA, WWN:etc..etc..etc.., FW:82.00A82, 6.00 TB

For details see host's SYSLOG.

You can also use the smartctl utility for further investigation.

Another message will be sent in 24 hours if the problem persists.

The disk with that serial ID is standing on my desk right now. So, it's repeating garbage every day. I restarted smartd daemon right now and check what will happen tomorrow.

Here is smartctl -a /dev/sdk output:

I start to think that TrueNAS was doing this job better.
