Hi folks,

I configured /etc/smartd.conf in this way

/dev/sda -s (S/../.././02|L/../../7/04) -m [email protected] -M exec
/usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner
/dev/sda -s (S/../.././11) -m [email protected] -M exec
/usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner
/dev/sda -s (S/../.././14) -m [email protected] -M exec
/usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner
/dev/sda -s (S/../.././17) -m [email protected] -M exec
/usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner

for all the devices from sda to sdl.

sda and sdb are attached to the builtin controller of the Dell server but,
from sdc on, disks are behind a LSI HBA 9205-8e.

In /var/lib/smartd.log I only see the following

[...]

I need to parse the output to check for errors especially for reallocation
of sectors.
Where to find them?

BTW is there any guidelines for evaluating thresholds beyond which to be
concerned about sector reallocation? I have hard time in tracking the
temperature of disks and I think reallocation of sectors maybe a more
precise indicators of incoming failures.

Thanks,

Alex
