itimpi Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 How does one download a smart report for a failed drive? When I try it the report just reads the following: "Smartctl open device: /dev/sdf failed: No such device" That is what happens if the drive is offline (often due to a cabling issue). Typically once this happens one has to power-cycle the system to get the drive back online so you can get a SMART report. If it refuses to come back even after a power-cycle then the drive is definitely failed. Quote Link to comment
