I’ve had multiple reads fail on a fairly new drive.
I did a
smartctl -t long /dev/sdbbut after checking back a few minutes latersmartctl -a /dev/sdbshowed that no tests were running and that the previous test had “the read element of the test failed”.I did
smartctl -t offline /dev/sdbnext and after that was donesmartctl -x /dev/sdbshowed about 1500 errors but it also reported SMART as PASSED.Here is the output of
smartctl -x /dev/sdb: https://pastebin.com/09rNZZfDHow should I interpret these results? Was my assumption that the long test was done wrong? Should I replace the drive? Or might something else be wrong, like the SATA connection?
Yeah that drive is dying, replace it.
