The "raw" values are "vendor defined". Often the 6 bytes of raw data are split up into 1 or 2 byte wide fields. Any volunteers to submit a patch to smartmontools to dump "raw values" as hexidecimal by default?

AFAICT, it's not safe to directly compare raw values between vendors since the raw values don't mean exactly the same thing (e.g. more aggressive retries might result in few reallocations.) hth, grant > > Thanks. > > -- > tejun > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
