smartd[2895]: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], SMART Usage Attribute: 194 Temperature_Celsius changed from 108 to 107
Where to change that smartd reading?
I have a web server whos DocumentRoot is:/tmp/wwwNow, /temp/www/fake/ is a directory that contains a series of other files/folders.What I want to do is access the files in /temp/www/fake as if they were in the root directory (/temp/www/)For example:
could either be located in "/temp/www/test.php"
-or-
located in "/temp/www/fake/test.php"
so "http://127.0.0.1/test.php" would essentially call both directories. Is this possible? Whould I do this through apache or through the actual file system somehow? (Like some sort of symbolic link?) I would love to hear your input.
I'm testing OpenSUSE 11.3 on a server and I'd like to disable the write cache on all of my drives. In Ubuntu Server I was able to accomplish this with hdparm by adding the appropriate settings to /etc/hdparm.conf
As far as I can find the only thing that OpenSUSE offers is /etc/sysconfig/ide which allows you to force particular DMA modes. I could just put the hdparm commands in /etc/init.d/boot.local but I'd prefer to do it the right way if there is a right way to do this in OpenSUSE.
No matter if it is safe mode or regular the computer stops booting at Starting smartd I installed wine and samaba files (through Yast) before I restarted the computer and I was looking in FSTAB to get my HD's working. I didn't make any changes to FSTAB (I didn't even save the file).

how to clean up tmp files on opensuse 11.4 as it seems as if the partition is almost completely file of various files.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using Opensuse11.4 and have kmail and Firefox. When I click a url: link in kmail it opens a new tab in Firefox. The problem is that the url is linked to my temp cache files as this file:///var/tmp/kdecache-terry/krun/1589.0.ctt
The tab this opens has most of the link icons stripped out and the links to other parts of the website don't work and I get a "file not found" error and the link is to a file which doesn't exist file:///contribute.php3
This is only a minor annoyance as I can right click > copy the url and paste it to the address bar in Firefox then it works ok. I don't think it anything in either programme that's broken because this happened after an update to Opensuse 11.4 on my previous laptop and has happened again on my new laptop with a fresh install.
I'm looking to use a vnc client so I can connect to my other windows machine. I thought i'd use realVNC as I've used it before from windows and it seems to do the job... the problem is that when I try and install it I get the following message: Package /temp/vnc-4_1_3-x86_linux.rpm could not be installed.

Is it a problem that I'm trying to install this on a 64 bit Suse 11.1 installation? Can anyone recommend a solution (I can't find the package to install), or any other good vnc clients I can easily use?

I want to use smartd for monitoring my hard disk regularly. What is the interaction of smartd with the hard disk driver that is in use. Whether the hard disk driver should be smart enabled or only the hard disk. Will any one help me in this.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm having some trouble understanding the smartd configuration options which go in /etc/smartd.conf. I've had smartd running for close to a year now, and read the manual page for smartd and smartd.conf several times, and I still can't get my head around it properly. This is what I use in smartd.conf:
/dev/sda -H -f -S on -o on -n standby,q
-s (O/../.././(00|06|12|18)|S/../.././11|L/../../(3|6)/21)
-m <nomailer> -M exec /usr/sbin/smartd_mailer
The above works fine (I use a custom script because I use exim). However, I had two failing hard-disks on two different machines (sector pending attribute) - but I would only receive warning emails if I restarted the machines - not when the periodic tests were being performed. I have a number of questions, if any of you would like to share some light on this:
1. It is not clear from the manual page how the monitoring and alerting mode works. Do I get an initial email when I start smartd if something is wrong, and then no other warning email after each scan, even if there is a fault, unless the fault goes worse?
2. Can I force it to send me warning emails after each test (offline, online, short, long etc.) if the fault condition is still there, even if it hasn't gotten worse?
3. There seem to be a variety of parameters monitored. I was thinking that if I monitor bad sectors, and the hdd temperature - it should be enough to warn me when the hard-disk is failing? Would the -a switch in smartd.conf cover these?
4. I don't understand the difference between monitoring and logging in relation to alerts? Do I get alerts only if I log things?
5. Do I understand correctly that the -p and -u switch would warn me of *any* changes in SMART attributes, even if they don't represent risk of failure?
6. Is there a way of finding out if the scheduled tests (offline, long, short etc.) have been performed?
I recently installed two 160Gb hdds, and use these with striped LVM technics.
now I came across /var/log/messages these lines... :-/
Feb 14 16:50:44 centos55 smartd[4826]: Device: /dev/sdf, 34 Offline uncorrectable sectors
Feb 14 16:50:44 centos55 smartd[4826]: Device: /dev/sdg, 14 Offline uncorrectable sectors
To my understanding, this means that the disk is beginning to fail, and should be replaced..
Short story..I have about 35.000 images on these disks... (shared on network, as a samba share with PCs using Picasa) I've doing backup to 2 separate USB disk, and sometimes I connect a third usb disk and transfer to this aswell. I'm worried now that "some" of my image/data might have been lost - due to the 2 lines above. (checking if something is missing, of the 35.000 images is not easy.. and I have not made any txt file with all files/names/size og the images -...I see now that I also should create such a list, and not just take backup)
How critical is this "Offline uncorrectable sectors" and how can I check/do something about it ?
I've been using ubuntu for the past year now but unfortunately I have to confess I never had to compile anything from scratch. I bought a new intel SSD drive and I've been running some benchmarks on it with various fs. The new hdparm version has a few features that I'd like to test (TRIM/wiper) but I don't know how to install it as it's not in the repositories. I've been googling for almost 4hrs now but I still haven't found a way to do it.
I've downloaded the tar.gz file from sourceforge and I've decompressed it. Inside, it was a debian folder but there was no .deb file in it. Anyway I did a "make hdparm" and it compiled with no errors. It gave me an "hdparm" executable which works fine if I call it with the full path. what's the proper way to install it in place of the already apt-get installed package?
2 months ago, I built a dedicated backup server using 4 2TB SATA drives for software RAID5 (6TB total). A few days ago, smartd sent out mail saying it found an unreadable sector on one of the drives. I ran selftest using smartctl and the error persisted. So far, neither software RAID nor ext4fs running on top of the RAID volume have reported errors.
MOST OPTIMISTIC: It is normal to have a few bad sectors among billions. Software RAID takes care of alternatives. Keep using the system until RAID spits a more serious warning in the future.
MOST PESSIMISTIC: It is a really bad sign to lead a disaster. No good disk drive should have bad sectors especially when it is only 2 months old. The error is simply not detected by software RAID and ext4. Replace the drive immediately and return the bad drive to the supplier.
Im wanting to put HDD's to sleep using hdparm after 20min of activity (a 4x disk raid5 array and two single disks). I have edited /etc/hdparm.conf, adding the following lines at the end of the file:
Code:
#6TB RAID5 POWER DOWN
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST32000542AS_5XW0T1R6 {
spindown_time = 240
[code]....
Code:
sudo hdparm -y /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_SAMSUNG_HD501LJS0MUJDWQ411622
The HDD's will sleep with out issue. Ive looked around my log files and cant seem to find anything to do with hdparm, or the HDD's sleeping. Have I make a mistake in the .conf file? Is there some place hdparm logs, or if I can activate some sort of verbose mode? Or does hdparm need to be activated on boot?
EDIT: I'm using ubuntu 10.04.1 x64 last updated today.
can hdparm do secure erase on just a partition or does it have to be the whole drive?

I'm trying to make sure I don't screw anything up. When I type in the following into the terminal:

I have SSDs connect to my Linux machine through the LSI SAS/SATA 1068E controller. I've been trying to issue a ATA secure erase command to my SSDs, but I keep getting error. In fact even hdparm -i fails.
# hdparm -i /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Invalid exchange
HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Invalid argument
Initially I thought there was some kernel configuration issue, so I tried connecting a SSD to the on board SATA and I no longer get errors. The secure erase worked. It seems there is some compatibility issue with hdparm and the LSI controller/driver I'm using. Any way to make hdparm play nice with my LSI controller? Has anyone had success getting hdparm to work with drives connected to an LSI controller?
Additianal info:
Linux Kernel: 2.6.30
hdparm: v9.27
LSI driver: Fusion MPT SAS Host driver 3.04.07
I have set up a hdparm configuration file ( /etc/udev/rules.d/50-hdparm.rules ) with :
Code: Select allACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="sda", RUN+="/usr/bin/hdparm -B 255 -S 0 /dev/sda" .
This works correct when I power on my system, however after waking my computer from sleep mode , /dev/sda appears to operate with APM .
Is there a way I can make this setting to be persistent ,i.e. APM disabled when waking up from sleep mode?
I am running Debian Jessie x64.
I've just put together a 10.04 server using a GA-D525TUD atom board. I've installed gnome desktop too. I'm trying to get 4 sata drives to go into standby, but hdparm seems to be ignoring the settings. If i issue hdparm -y /dev/sdx the drive duly goes into standby and stays in standby until accessed. I've put entries in rc.local along with the hdparm.conf settings, but still no joy.

I have some general question with with quite an impact for the system I use I have a media server with 2 raid1 mirrors of 2 1 To disk aggregated with lvm and used by a big 2 To ext3 partition.A few days ago, munin (awesome!) started to send me notifications about smart attributes of some disks. Fyi, here's my hdparm.conf:
/dev/sda {
spindown_time = 54
}
/dev/sdb {
[code]...
regarding reliability and disk longevity, is it recommended to have them spin down while not used (most of the day, as these are storage unit for movies, pictures, documents..) or let them spin whatever.. ? Those are WD green and according to Tom' Hardware, the consumption is only slightly greater in idle compared to standby. The other question, (boat one as we say in french ) what is the best configuration here ? My 2 raid 1 stripes, or a raid 5 ? I know that two disks kill the raid 5, and they have to be of the same stripe to kill the lvm on the raid1, but what are the odds ?
I have tried issuing this command:
[root@C5 ~]# hdparm -a 256 -d 1 -r 0 -k 0 -u 0 -c 1 -A 1 -K 0 -P 0 -X 66 -W 0 -S 0 /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
setting fs readahead to 256
setting 32-bit IO_support flag to 1
[code]....
Note that setting most of the parameters fails - and it still appears to be in 16 bit PIO mode. Am I using the wrong tool here - or incorrect parameters - or are the results misleading? Is there some other interpretation?
On a Powerbook G4, I set hdparm to set the filesystem readahead (-a) to the maximum 2048 on boot. This produces a visible increase in performance... But today the hard drive started acting up - first generating I/O errors when trying to access various system binaries, and the second time bringing the desktop to a standstill and emitting loud clunking noises.In both cases the drive worked normally after a reboot... Even so, these are not what I'd consider good signs. However, the computer was working perfectly up until now, so I'm wondering if my tweaking was responsible. Can overly aggressive filesystem readahead settings damage an IDE hard drive?
