Camel Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I tried to do a short smart test and the results came back; Smart Short Test of /dev/hdb will take from several minutes to an hour or more. smartctl -t short -d ata /dev/hdb 2>&1 smartctl 5.39.1 2010-01-28 r3054 [i486-slackware-linux-gnu] (local build) Copyright © 2002-10 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net SMART Disabled. Use option -s with argument 'on' to enable it. How do I write the command properly to start SMART on this drive? I tried this but it did not work; root@Tower:~# smartctl -a on -d /dev/hdb smartctl 5.39.1 2010-01-28 r3054 [i486-slackware-linux-gnu] (local build) Copyright © 2002-10 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net on: Unknown device type '/dev/hdb' When I boot unraid, through the BIOS it says the smart command failed for that HDD. Though, in the main.htm, I see a temp reading of 0 as opposed to an asterisk. I do see info when I run an HDparm and Smart Status Report. This HDD is a Maxtor_5A300J0_A8247TEE Any thoughts? Thanks, Camel Quote Link to comment

Camel Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 Maybe I'll use this drive in an USB enclosure to move data around and replace this drive with a newer one that will give me the option to have smart enabled. I precleared this Maxtor drive with no issues other than I can't enable smart. Thanks for your time and input. Quote Link to comment
