SMART Notification Email Received But No Smartctl Error Log

This message was generated by the smartd daemon running on:

   host name:  archdesktop
   DNS domain: [Empty]

The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:

Device: /dev/sde [SAT], Read SMART Error Log Failed

Device info:
ST31000524AS, S/N:5VP9CZC8, WWN:5-000c50-02a4da21e, FW:JC4B, 1.00 TB

For details see host's SYSLOG.

You can also use the smartctl utility for further investigation.
No additional messages about this problem will be sent.


So I went and checked smartctl on the device being reported to me.


SMART Error Log Version: 1

Several things to speculate here. Could it be that the error being reported is a firmware feature not yet included in smartctl parameters? Besides this particular email notification, no error for this device or any other block device I'm using for this machine is showing up. Why is it happening only for this particular device and not on the others? I'm using 5 other block devices. Could it be just the motherboard reporting that the device is temporarily undetected? The device is not currently mounted but part of an lvm volume group.

Password Issues On Ubuntu Login

I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it. I've been running the current session for more days than I should have. I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my system now? It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub. The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a terminal access where you can issue commands. Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the filesyste...

2024 So Far

I have a feeling of moving earth or walking off my itchiness. The growing fat in my belly tells me I am failing on many occasions to give in to this urge. My eyes are blurred by morning glory. I remember my father having the same ritual in the morning. After his weak stroke, he couldn't speak much, just a grunt but he would demonstrate with hand how he liked to wash his face. The weather wasn't helping. It's been raining cats and dogs the past week. The province of Rizal was soaked and spilled volumes of water into the bay and Laguna lake. Our Caimito tree was cut to no more than 4 feet from the ground. It was towering above the corrugated sheet metal of our roof. Now it lay horizontal on the yard. I calculated it could be made into a whole table and chairs set by a talented carpenter artist. I showed Lino the two big pieces of trunk that could only be moved if cut by a power saw in place. The road widening project in San Mateo was in the middle stage. One side of the road ...
