Add conveyance test to SMART Tests for drives

Please add conveyance test to SMART Tests for drives

 

For drives that support it, the conveyance test is usually a one time test for drives that have been recently shipped and will be newly added to the array.  It's a good first time test for new drives to check against shipping damage

Conveyance

Intended as a quick test to identify damage incurred during transporting of the device from the drive manufacturer to the computer manufacturer.[49] Only available on ATA drives, and it usually takes several minutes.

 

 

This thread has a perfect example of it's purpose.

Preclear Results (Why I don't buy from NewEgg anymore)

And just for consolidation.

/usr/sbin/smartctl -t conveyance /dev/sd? where ?= device id.

 

It will tell you how long it will take, usually 4-6 minutes.

 

Then capture smartlogs and post again with

/usr/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/sd?

 

 

Not sure if I did this correctly, but here goes:

Weebo,

 

As usual, awesome write up and very thorough explanation of your request.  Can I ask how this would appear in the webGui ideally?  Is this something that would just be another self-test like the short/extended tests?  This would be manually invoked by the user, right?

This would be another test line item like short & long test, Perhaps as conveyance with a ? pointing to a help screen which identifies what it is for.

Not all drives support it.

You can tell if a drive supports it by issuing the smartctl -a and looking if it says conveyance test supported.
