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 ?

 

[fiona]

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 ? ...

 

[fiona]

Do you have any actual issues or is it just the log messages? It's unfortunately a non-trivial change, so trying to backport carries the risk to break something for somebody else.

 

[Szymons]

I cannot see 'dmesg' startup information cause there is only :


this is not enought ?

 

[fiona]

I cannot see 'dmesg' startup information cause there is only :

this is not enought ?

I know it's annoying, but if there is no real breakage and it doesn't affect more users, then it's not important enough to:

• put in the work to look at the nontrivial upsteam change in detail and understand if it can be backported safely
• diverge from Debian's package more
• risk breaking things for other users

You can filter out those messages, to get what you really want to see.

Are you using Zabbix to monitor your proxmox server?
Because I'm using it and it also spams this message in dmesg.

But you can set rsyslog to ignore it, so it doesn't bother you anymore. (I believe pve 8 doesn't have rsyslog but journalctl, so this isn't aplicable for it unless you upgraded it from 7.4).

create this file: /etc/rsyslog.d/10-filter-smartctl-syslog.conf with this content:

# Filter out messages like these:
# Oct  4 13:20:19 px02 kernel: [609055.097277] program smartctl is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO

:msg, contains, "program smartctl is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO" stop

And then /etc/init.d/rsyslog restart

 

[Can't speak English]

您是否正在使用Zabbix来监控您的proxmox服务器？
因为我正在使用它，它也在 dmesg 中发送此消息的垃圾邮件。

但是您可以将 rsyslog 设置为忽略它，这样它就不会再打扰您了。（我相信 pve 8 没有 rsyslog 而是 journalctl，所以除非您从 7.4 升级它，否则这不适用于它）。

创建此文件： 包含以下内容：/etc/rsyslog.d/10-filter-smartctl-syslog.conf

# 过滤掉如下消息：
# Oct 4 13：20：19 px02 内核： [609055.097277] 程序 smartctl 正在使用已弃用的 SCSI ioctl，请将其转换为 SG_IO

：msg，包含“程序 smartctl 正在使用已弃用的 SCSI ioctl，请将其转换为 SG_IO” stop

然后/etc/init.d/rsyslog restart

我真的希望他的问题能有一个彻底的解决方案
