Is it possible to extract vibrations counters from some hard drive ?
Issue
Is there any way of extracting vibration information from using a linux utility like smart if the device supports it ?
Some devices has this information available.
For example this is listed on the SMART wikipedia's page:
186 BA Induced Op-Vibration Detection Western Digital attribute.
191 BF G-sense error rate Lower The count of errors resulting from externally-induced shock & vibration.
211 D3 Vibration During Write Vibration During Write
221 DD G-Sense Error Rate Lower The count of errors resulting from externally-induced shock & vibration.
