The (logical) drive 1 doesn't exists. The RAID "unit" likely appears
as drive 0 in Windows device manager.

Did you try "hda" or "hda,1" ?

Or use smartd to scan for available devices:

SATA hotswap support ?

Hi,

I'm running smartmontools on a small homebuilt NAS server with
several SATA hot-swap bays. The server is running debian etch,
which includes smartmontools version 5.36.

Does anyone know of a convenient way to support hot-swap configurations ?
Here is what I tried so far:

* Using DEVICESCAN kinda works, if I add "-d ata". However in this
  configuration, smartd will not start if I add any USB-key drives,
  which are recognised as scsi under linux but do not have smart support.

* I can list my drives in smartd.conf, but then the issue is to keep this
  file up to date. If I forget to add new drives they won't be monitored,
  and smartd will not start if the config file includes drives that are
  not present in the server.

I think it would be ideal if drives could be listed by regexp in smartd.conf,
such as /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-[0-9:]* for example, followed
by whatever parameters one wants to assign to these drives.

Even better would be if the resolution of that regexp into actual drive names
was done at regular intervals in smartd (whenever it wants to look at drive
attributes), rather than just once at smartd init time.

Or is there a better way to support hotswap configurations ???

Thanks for any advice,

That's what I do, but there's nothing to update.  List each possible
disk in smartd.conf.  For example, from my system:

/dev/sata/e1b1 -d ata -d removable -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././00|L/../../1/01)
/dev/sata/e1b2 -d ata -d removable -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././04|L/../../2/05)
/dev/sata/e1b3 -d ata -d removable -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././08|L/../../3/09)
/dev/sata/e1b4 -d ata -d removable -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././12|L/../../4/13)
/dev/sata/e1b5 -d ata -d removable -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././16|L/../../5/17)
/dev/sata/e1b6 -d ata -d removable -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././20|L/../../6/21)

Those paths might be something like /dev/disk/by-path for you.  Disks
that are not present are ignored.  I also have a udev rule that
reloads the configuration any time a new disk is added:

  ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="sd*[!0-9]",
          RUN+="/etc/init.d/smartmontools reload"

Clicking disk with no obvious fault

I have a Fujitsu MHV2120AH disk installed in a Mac Mini that makes an
annoying "click-clack" noise approximately every 5 seconds, unless the
system is under load e.g. compilation or running a smartctl self-test.
The results of the self-tests, both long and short, are a pass. The -A
option reveals values that are not near the failure thresholds. There
are no errors relating to this disk in the system log and there does
not seem to be any effect upon system performance. So, other than the
click, the drive seems fine.
Can anyone suggest what the cause of the click might be, and if not
serious whether it may be "tuned" out somehow?
I have, of course, already got a full backup of the disk.
Thanks,
Milo.

smartd is complaining about -d even though it is in smartd.conf

When I am starting smartd I am receiving the following notices:

smartd: Use the `-d' option to access drives behind ciss0. See 
smartctl(8) manual page.
smartd: Use the `-d' option to access drives behind ciss0. See

However I have these entries in my conf:

(S/../.././02|L/../../6/03) \

Nice, this does solve my problem. Thanks for the tip ! It had not
occured to me that one might use more than one -d option like this :)

Disc Errors Help please

Hello,
I have just installed 2 new 500Gb HDD's in a raid 1 server using gmirror 
and freebsd 6.2
the disks are at /dev/ad4 and /dev/ad6

After setting up the gmirror I received an error when testing the main 
HDD and smartd also gives and error.
I also had to run fsck on one of the partitions to repair a SUPERBLOCK 
error.

I did not see any problems occur with the system.

Are these errors indicating I have a faulty new HDD and how may I repair 
this error?

I have included the smartctl output below and the smartd output below that

Your disk is faulty, both freebsd and the smart logs show that it cant 
read a certain sector or you kicked it accidentally perhaps.

I believe you should get a replacement disk.

Thanks
