June 12, 20215 yr I have my Disk Settings > Tunable (poll_attributes) setting set to 450000 seconds (125 h). I see in my Syslog that "read SMART /dev/xxx" is being read every 6 hours for any given disk. The only thing I have running on a 6 hour frequency is the Mover. Is the Mover causing the frequent SMART parameters? Thanks!
June 12, 20215 yr Drive spinups also cause an automatic SMART read But, I do have to question the rather extreme schedule you've set for polling in the first place? Even 6 hours is much too long IMHO. Why would you want to know 5.2 days after a drive starts developing problems according to it's own smart reports?
