November 23, 201411 yr I have had my first WD RED 6TB drive fail on Tower1, it now has the spare installed and is rebuilding the disk. I have inserted the failed drive in Tower2 as /dev/sdl and started a smartctl --test=long /dev/sdl results are ready in 12 hours. How do I obtain the results?
November 23, 201411 yr You should be able to see the progress and results from a "smartctl -a". It should show up with the normal smart information. It usually either gives you a success or a failure that aborts the test, such as a bad area on the disk..
