Smartd frequent attribute change
Hi,
I am using the package smartsuite to monitor my server harddisks.
Unfortunately, a Seagate Barracuda on /dev/hda keeps filling up my
syslog with messages like the one attached below(1).
Attribute 1 and 195 keep changing by 1/-1 almost every time smartd runs
the check. When I run smartctl -v /dev/hda, the results(2) do not really
mean anything to me me as they were like this right from when I put the
harddisk in.
Does anybody else experience similar log events and if so, is there
anything you did to stop this from happening?
Thanks,
Andre
