There is a wealth of information on SMART and how to read the attributes online. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.#ATA_S.M.A.R.T._attributes -- Adam Piggott, Proprietor, Proactive Services (Computing) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Smartmontools-support mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/smartmontools-support
