Overheating OSdrive, no alert???

Hi

I suspect my nvme osdrive is overheating. At random moments the proxmox host becomes unreachable.

Today for the first time I saw some indication of what could be a cause. 83 degrees does not seem like too high but note the
"Specified Maximum Operating Temperature" near the bottom.

smartctl /dev/sda |grep Temperature
1710512605995.png

Because of this, I suspect the osdrive overheats. However I haven't gotten any alerts for this. Email alerts do work however, when I test mails or when I restart smartd
 
Hi!
could you please post the full output including the drive model?
I don't know about the "Specified Maximum Operating Temperature", but looking at the "Min/Max Temperature Limit" and "Under/Over Temperature Limit Count", it says that you have never been above the limit, and thus you would never have gotten a warning.

I have to add, im not quite sure what to make of it anymore. I did acutal additional testing last weekend and tried overheating the system on purpose.
I got the CPU up to 95 and the drive up to 87C and it never stopped being responsive once...

I'm unsure what happens when the system is not responding
 
Luckily intel was one of the few companies that actually documented SMART attributes. See page 23: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/397146.pdf

So this is indeed celsius and your SSD is running at 28 deg C with a max of 72 deg C while the max temperature according to datasheet is 70 deg C. So yes, at least once it was too hot and probably thermal throttled.
