smartd false positive SSD CurrentPendingSector?

What this means is that apparently there is a bug in the current firmware and the good folks at smartmontools.org recognize it. You have to download the latest database file (from 12.28.2019 as at the moment) from here to /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/ (see post 14) and hope that the annoying messages go away.

10 days after replacing another Kinsgton SSD (a nightmare for another poost) with this Crucial MX500 unit, several mails were received :

After updating smartmon database (#post-250637 on this topic) smartmontols change alert to simply warning ths value is bogus on thsi device and firmware

mar 06 21:03:38 HPServer smartd[4539]: Device: /dev/sdb [SAT], found in smartd database: Crucial/Micron MX500 SSDs
mar 06 21:03:38 HPServer smartd[4539]: Device: /dev/sdb [SAT], WARNING: This firmware returns bogus raw values in attribute 197

smartctl  shows now:

197 Bogus_Current_Pend_Sect 0x0032   100   100   000    Old_age   Always       -       0

Mine shows this now after I added the updated database.

197 Bogus_Current_Pend_Sect 0x0032   100   100   000    Old_age   Always       -                                                                                  1
     1

This was the email error I was getting before that.
