[RHEL 4.8] smartctl seemingly gives incorrect error count results on disk drives
Issue
-
smartctl seems to give incorrect results
-
S.M.A.R.T. error counters seems to give incorrect values
- Total errors are wrong
-
customer's documentation states that no errors are allowed on disks when upgrading (implying such systems are not upgradable)
-
In all cases the smartctl command reported "
SMART Health Status: OK"
Environment
- RHEL 4.8
- smartctl utility version 5.33
