Hi, wir erhatlen seit einiger Zeit per E-Mail den Fehler:

Code:
This message was generated by the smartd daemon running on:
host name: pxb01
DNS domain: xxxxxxxx
The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:
Device: /dev/sdh [SAT], FAILED SMART self-check. BACK UP DATA NOW!
Device info:
ATP SATA III 2.5 inch SSD, S/N:00521A002003, WWN:5-141357-170018cd2, FW:T0205B, 120 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 Tue Apr 4 10:24:57 2023 CEST Another message will be sent in 24 hours if the problem persists.

Im Syslog steht folgender Eintrag:
Code:
2024-07-08T03:14:21.035079+02:00 pxb01 smartd[1381]: Device: /dev/sdh [SAT], FAILED SMART self-check. BACK UP DATA NOW!
2024-07-08T03:14:21.101776+02:00 pxb01 smartd[1381]: Device: /dev/sdh [SAT], SMART Usage Attribute: 231 Unknown_SSD_Attribute changed from 36 to 39

smartctl -a /dev/sdh gibt folgendes aus:
231 Unknown_SSD_Attribute 0x0022 035 069 000 Old_age Always - 1092550691
 
Only the manufacturer knows what that attribute indicates. That it changed might not be the actual problem. The firmware on the drive concluded that the drive is about to fail. You could run additional tests if you want to (smartctl -t long) but I don't think that will change anything (and might make the drive fail faster).
This is not Proxmox specific (and other SMART guides will therefore apply) and I would suggest contacting the seller or manufacturer for more information and/or replacement.
