I found that that could be some old smart version issue :

[Szymons]

I can admit that also in proxmox v8 there is that same smartmontools version

v8.00

ii smartmontools 7.2-pve3

Edit ! :
now in v8.03 there is

ii smartmontools 7.3-pve1

and in both version BUG is present :

[Szymons]

Should I make new topic with v8 information ?

 

[veehexx]

seeing the same here, but only on 1 of my 3 pve nodes.
dmesg is being "flooded" with these every minute, 24 at a time (i've 13 sata disks connected, so isnt 1:1).

what i cant tell is if it's a per-model of disk issue, as theres no info on what devices its complaining about; is it 1 disk 24 times, or 4 disks 6x etc.
I'm running a mix of onboard sata and 2x similar but not identical PCIe sata cards and i think all ahci connected.
seems to have started when i upgraded to v8, but i've also done various other work recently like CPU & motherboard swap.

 

[Szymons]

anyone from proxmox team can write something ?

 

[Szymons]

I can confirm that this issue occure at other HW. Promox team ? anyone here ?

Hi,
we try to stay based off the Debian version, which is 7.3 currently. There is a Debian bug report about this issue already: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=907842
Maybe you'd like to bump it, indicating that it's still an issue and that a fix is available upstream already.

 

[Szymons]

and there is no option to fast patch this ? ...
