l looked at dmesg last night, finding no error messages.
I next ran smartctl, but need help deciphering the readings.
For example:
ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED
RAW_VALUE
Can somebody explain the significance of the values under these headers?
I See nothing under WHEN_FAILED. That means nothing wrong with the HDD?
No bad sectors?
Sorry about the line wrapping. Can't figure out how to undo wrapping, so
that the below table is legible.
I could copy the results and paste them onto the text editor so as not
to loose the formatting. Is it acceptable to add an attachment to email
to COLUG ?
