Hi everyone,
In one desktop machine gnome-disks
just started saying ”Assessment: DISK IS LIKELY TO FAIL SOON”. The disk is very old so that wouldn’t be too surprising, but when I look for the details, I can’t see anything being wrong. If select “SMART Data & Self-Tests” menu entry all the attributes says “Assessment OK". The self tests, both short and extended, also complete without issues.
I tried to get more information using the command line tool smartctl
but that seems to say the same. smartctl -A
doesn’t have an “assessment” column, but none of them has anything in the WHEN_FAILED
column. smartcl -l error
does show a few entries, but they are from years ago according to the power-on lifetime indication. smartctl -H
says PASSED
.
Does anyone have any idea why gnome-disks
still thinks the disk is going to fail?
