smartctl read failure
by mfoley from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6GVTS)
I have a 4TB WDC WD40EFRX-68WT0N0 SATA drive. Running smartctl -a /dev/sdb after running smartctl -t /dev/sdb (self test) reports:
Code:SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1
Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error
# 1 Short offline Completed: read failure 10% 2203 1173004408
# 2 Short offline Completed: read failure 10% 2009 1352775304
# 3 Short offline Completed: read failure 90% 55418 2639450161Yet that report also says, "SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED".
So what's up here? Does this drive need to be replaced? If it's having read failures, why would it report "PASSED"?
