Hi all, Finally I temporarily migrate my mailserver to another box. It has been experiencing troubles with the SATA discs (Maxtor and Western Digital). I then upgraded the kernel to the latest one: 2.6.9-34.ELsmp and now smartd can run. When I do: smartcl -d ata -a /dev/sda, it says some errors but I don't know what does it mean. This is the result: http://pastebin.com/624613 The problems it encoutered were: time out on device. Pls take a look at the pastebin for details. Is the drive still ok? Running smartcl on sdb gives no error.
