Smart Errors from Replaced Disk

[neshi]

Good Day All,

We receintly upgraded our servers from HDDs to SSDs for vm storage but one of them is giving us smart errors for 2 of the removed drives.

See below from one of the drives.

How do we go about resolving this error.

For details see host's SYSLOG.

You can also use the smartctl utility for further investigation.

I'm having the same problem on a fully updated non-subscription node (8.3.5)

My guess is that ProxMox is caching SMART reports, and with those drives no longer in the system, it is just re-sending the daily alert based on the last saved version. I'm hoping that a reboot will "fix" it.

I've submitted it to the bug tracker.

I migrated all vms off of the host in question and preformed a reboot and have not seen the error reocure so this may just be the case.
