[SOLVED] SMART error (Usage) detected on host: proxmox

[fuomag9]

I keep receiving the email below:

This message was generated by the smartd daemon running on:

  host name:  proxmox
  DNS domain: example.com

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

Device: /dev/sda [SAT], Failed SMART usage Attribute: 10 Spin_Retry_Count.

Device info:
ST4000DM004-2CV104, S/N:ZTT07X76, WWN:5-000c50-0c7c9596b, FW:0001, 4.00 TB

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 Sat Apr 27 18:23:16 2024 CEST
Another message will be sent in 24 hours if the problem persists.

I believe the disk is fine and the Spin_Retry_Count errored out when the power had gone out once.

How do I make these notifications stop?

This is not Proxmox specific. Maybe turn off SMART for the drive in the motherboard BIOS settings? Maybe something like this can work: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/80894/how-to-get-smartd-to-ignore-an-hdd ? Maybe the documentation of smartd can tell you how to ignore a specific attribute?

I've tried the first link you quoted, let's see how it goes, thanks

See smartd.conf man using the -i ID option will stop repeat warning for that attribute until it changes again. -I ID option will ignore that attribute completely. So you'll have to find what your ID is for 10 Spin_Retry_Count & then add that option to your smartd.conf for the specific drive.
