March 28, 201412 yr Logged into my server the other day to just do my checks I do every so often to make sure things are healthy. Typically that just means using MyMain in unmenu to make sure nothing is failing. Long story short, my main reported: current_pending_sector=1106 so I ran the short test on the disk. The report appears healthy, but maybe that is just because I am not reading it right. any thoughts? === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Device Model: WDC WD20EARS-00J2GB0 Serial Number: WD-WCAYY0298257 Firmware Version: 80.00A80 User Capacity: 2,000,398,934,016 bytes Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall] ATA Version is: 8 ATA Standard is: Exact ATA specification draft version not indicated Local Time is: Thu Mar 27 20:31:24 2014 EDT SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

March 28, 201412 yr The short test is just that, a quick and short test to check out the system. I suspect it runs all the internal tests of hardware and firmware, tests the most important sectors at the beginning, and tests random sectors for every head. It only takes a few minutes, whereas the long test takes hours, testing every sector on the surface. You may want to start a long test, but I suspect you won't like the result! One bad thing about the long test, it seems to stop at the first bad sector, doesn't give you a complete picture. You'll know it's done when a SMART report says it's done, near the bottom in the test results section of the SMART report.
