Well this is interesting: smartctl -H /dev/sda returns "SMART Health
Status: OK". But when I try to start a test with smartctl -t long
/dev/sda I immediately get "Extended Background Self Test Failed".
Apparently my drives don't work with smartctl since smartctl -l error
/dev/sda returns:
Error Counter logging not supported
Error Events logging not supported
I checked the BIOS and SMART reporting is turned on, although from the
description of this option it sounds like this controls whether
failures are reported during the BIOS boot-up.
