Agreed. ;) That's why I posted those messages -- I'm unsure why it would change those values. Here's what smartctl shows for all of the drives: ~ # for i in a b c d ; do smartctl -a /dev/sd$i | grep Temperature ; done 190 Airflow_Temperature_Cel 0x0022 069 059 045 Old_age Always - 31 (Lifetime Min/Max 23/37) 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 031 041 000 Old_age Always - 31 (0 23 0 0) 190 Airflow_Temperature_Cel 0x0022 068 058 045 Old_age Always - 32 (Lifetime Min/Max 22/38) 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 032 042 000 Old_age Always - 32 (0 22 0 0) 190 Airflow_Temperature_Cel 0x0022 068 057 045 Old_age Always - 32 (Lifetime Min/Max 22/38) 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 032 043 000 Old_age Always - 32 (0 22 0 0) 190 Airflow_Temperature_Cel 0x0022 069 059 045 Old_age Always - 31 (Lifetime Min/Max 23/37) 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 031 041 000 Old_age Always - 31 (0 23 0 0) Those values seem appropriate, particularly since the "max" is 37 (as defined by the drive manufacturer?). > -- > With respect, > Roman -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
