Hi, I got email from cpanel about 3 times now, here is the copy of that email -------------------------------------------------------------- S.M.A.R.T Errors on /dev/sda From Command: /usr/sbin/smartctl -q errorsonly -H -l selftest -l error /dev/sda Please note the following marginal Attributes: ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE 190 Unknown_Attribute 0x0022 064 044 045 Old_age Always In_the_past 36 ----END /dev/sda-- -------------------------------------------------------------- Can anybody tell is it Cpanel bug? waiting for detailed reply. Regards.
It could mean that the device listed (/dev/sda) has been slightly hotter at some point before the command was executed, than the manufacturer reccomends it be. 190 = Typically the id of temprature attributes Unknown_Attribute = Typically the attribute name 064 = current value, typically out of 100, higher is usually better 044 = worst the value has been 045 = manufacturers reccomended worst value, threshhold. Old_age = type of test Always = when this check is done In_the_past = When the failure ocured, threshhold was met/passed 36 = I don't know Given the value at the time that command was run, you probably experienced a high load with alot of disk activity at some point. If you experienced an abnormal surge in traffic you may be able to ignore that the error. If you don't own the box you probably shouldn't have to worry about it, the techs in the physical location of the box should know about it too. Still send them an email with that message just in case though. If you own the box, or can run commands on the server as a superuser (sudo ...) it's probably a good idea to run a complete test on that device, you need to at least find out the make & model of the drive so you can trace that attribute id to a definate name. sudo smartctl --all /dev/sda Code (markup):
There are numerous topics about this and this is believed to be a false positive related to the recent CentOS 4.6 update. It appears to be happening a lot with western digital dirves and specifically a few various models. You can read about it here: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=656974. There is also one on the cPanel forums as well and this is pretty wide spread so I highly doubt this many drives are failing.
Well i have that server with dedicatedplace i contacted them they told me that they will contact datacentre, so they did and the reply from datacentre is as follows. So i feel there is no danger Regards-
