Team,
I've been getting this notification :


This message was generated by the smartd daemon running on:

host name: pvex
DNS domain: local

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

Device: /dev/sdh [SAT], Failed SMART usage Attribute: 202 Percent_Lifetime_Remain.

Device info:
CT250MX500SSD1, S/N:2013E29839F1, WWN:5-00a075-1e29839f1, FW:M3CR023, 250 GB

For details see host's SYSLOG.

You can also use the smartctl utility for further investigation.
The original message about this issue was sent at Sun Jul 18 05:38:03 2021 CEST
Another message will be sent in 24 hours if the problem persists.

So...attribute 202 Percent_Lifetime_Remain has changed, good to know.
SMARTCTL tells me that the value is now 99%, nothing to worry about imo - right ?

Thing is, I'm getting notifications every 24h (exactly as the message is telling me ... 'Another message will be sent in 24 hours if the problem persists.').

Questions :
*Am I right in not being worried about value 99 for attribute '202 Percent_Lifetime_Remain' ? I'll worry when it reaches 33 or 25 & swap it out of the pool...right??
*How do I make it only send notifications about this when the value actually changes ? Instead of daily - just because the value isn't 100 any longer.

As always :
Thanks for your input !

the value is reverse... look at the 'normalized' value:

Code:
ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME          FLAG   VALUE WORST THRESH
202 Percent_Lifetime_Remain 0x0030 001   001   001

the value is '001' and the worst value is '001' so it means you reached the wearout level that the manufacturer decided is the point where the ssd is eol
this does not mean it will not function, but most likely the vendor will not guarantee for anything after that point

i'd replace that ssd fast!
