Hello friends

I have a situation about the SSD reported at:

I did do a research in the web and is suggested work with the smartctl command and GSMartControl GUI

First the SSD partitions for a better understanding

/dev/sda1

1278×470 49.3 KB

/dev/sda2

1310×458 55.6 KB

As follows the reports:

sudo smartctl -H /dev/sda1

Sorry for the long outputs

I am not an expert about this data report, so I am providing detailed information for you. According with the long output, Should I assume the SSD is passing away? So far my main concern is the following:

Warning! SMART ATA Error Log Structure error: invalid SMART checksum.
SMART Error Log Version: 1
No Errors Logged

and

Warning! SMART Extended Comprehensive Error Log Structure error: invalid SMART checksum.
SMART Extended Comprehensive Error Log Version: 1 (16 sectors)
No Errors Logged

Note: Pls, if you find some important point in the result let me know

Furthermore was executed the GSMartControl tool, with Extended Self-test, as follows:

Once completed, in the Error Log tab appears as follows:

Again, is my SSD passing away? I am not sure what to do, in these days I am going to go to the hardware provider, to apply the warranty if is necessary, so I am want be very sure the information he is going to give me matches with your answer(s).

Thanks for your understanding

You only need to run smartctl on the raw device, not the partitions.

i.e. /dev/sda - not /dev/sda1, 2, 3 et cetera (sda1, sda2 etc are partitions).

So - you only need to run it once :

Pop!_OS :

╭─x@fenrix ~

  └─cryptswap   252:2    0     4G  0 crypt [SWAP]

In my case - I’m only interested in nvme0n1 above :

On Red Hat systems - SSD are abstracted as /dev/sda, /dev/sdb et cetera, my RHEL 8 system :

╭─x@fuglpige ~

loop2           7:2    0  55.6M  1 loop /var/lib/snapd/snap/core18/2721
sda             8:0    0   477G  0 disk

├─sda2          8:2    0  1000M  0 part /boot

  └─rhel-swap 253:1    0  14.9G  0 lvm  [SWAP]

So I only need to run smartctl against sda (/dev/sda) :

╭─x@fuglpige ~  
╰─➤  sudo smartctl -H /dev/sda
smartctl 7.1 2019-12-30 r5022 [x86_64-linux-4.18.0-513.18.1.el8_9.x86_64] (local build)

Hello Dan

Thanks for that point, I didn’t know. To be honest I took the approach shared because in that way is indicated in the tutorials, based on partitions. It is the reason about why I used the the Disks GUI to know the partitions.

Let me execute the same command with your suggested approach to share the results later.

Just in case the GSmartControl GUI used, see the first figure shared about that and see the left top - there appears Device: /dev/sda, it is not based on partitions, so I am assuming the results shared later about that tool is valid according your suggestion. If you can check that output, pls share your thoughts

Thanks for your understanding

So you was right about the abstract part:

Wondered why appears firefox there …

Therefore

Because it’s installed as a snap…

Interesting, I assumed it should be installed within a common directory.

Some thoughts about the shared reports?

That is not where it is, that is a mount point for the loop mount
