Gbcue Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 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! Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 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? Quote Link to comment

As to your other question, I just don't want SMART parameters read so often, but it seems like they're being read much more often in practice. Quote Link to comment
