Heya,
First post to this list. have to say from what I have read in the passed
couple months. damn you people are knowledgeable in this stuff!
Anyways, I just setup a centos box for my personal little server at home.
Basically just a small personal, non-corporate server that runs a webserver,
DNS server, MySQL, and recently I installed webmin.
The other night I took a peak through webmin to see what kind of things you
could do with it and came across this Smart Drive option. Upon further
investigation this option appears to show information about my hard drive as
the Maxtor drives I have in my server have smart drive capability. They are
just a standard IDE drive nothing fancy.
When looking at this report I noticed a field called Errors and my Drive had
200 errors. What does this mean? Errors are usually not a good thing. is
this a cause for concern? Is there any drive utility tools out there that
fix these errors? Server seems to run fine. so I don't know what to think
about these errors. That's on my main drive. My other backup drive has
about 10,000 errors on it and that causes me some concern heh.
Location
IDE device A
Drive size
29 GB
Make and model
Maxtor 6E030L0
Supports SMART?
Yes
SMART enabled?
Yes
Errors logged
300 errors detected
Passed drive check?
Yes
Should I be concerned about these errors even though it does say it passed
the drive check? If so, anyone know how I can fix them? Or is this just
normal hard drive life?
Any info would be great. Thanks!
- James
