themaxxz Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Hi, Could you please on the 'Self-Test' page for hard disk, add a button 'SMART xerror log' to show xerror log as well? The command seems to be 'smarctl -l xerror <device>'. Reasoning. The regular 'error' log is often empty, and may give a false sense that the harddrive is still good, while information displayed in the xerror log indicates that the harddrive is starting to fail. See also https://www.smartmontools.org/ticket/34 E.g. xerror log can show 'Error: UNC at LBA' entries, while the error log shows nothing.

bonienl Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Just a note: not every device supports the "xerror" command. Link to comment
