Bug in smart reporting?
by Trevor Cordes 23 May '22

23 May '22

Date: Mon, 23 May 2022 00:31:56 -0500 Device: /dev/sdg [SAT], 2 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors Hitachi HDS723020BLA642, S/N:MN1220F317TJTD, WWN:5-000cca-369d1a23a, FW:MN6OA580, 2.00 TB Date: Mon, 23 May 2022 00:23:32 -0500 Device: /dev/sdh [SAT], 2 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors Hitachi HDS723020BLA642, S/N:MN1220F317TJTD, WWN:5-000cca-369d1a23a, FW:MN6OA580, 2.00 TB No reboot in between... Note the SNs are identical. That's impossible. The drive models are probably truly the same, but the SNs certainly are not. I think I found a bug in smart, unless someone can think of a reason why I'd be seeing this. The problem is, I just relied on a smart email like this to decide which drive to pull and replace. Now I'm not so sure the smart reporting is telling me anything correct. This is on a fairly new Fedora and smartmontools-7.2-11 >From today forward I would recommend double-checking smart reports before acting on them. (smartctl -a, hdparm -i, etc)
