I already read the similar questions but mine seems to tell a different story or the answers there don't work for me.
- SMART error (CurrentPendingSector) detected on host
- Device: /dev/sda [SAT], 1 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors
- Current Pending Sector S.M.A.R.T. attribute
- smartctl reports Current Pending Sectors as 2, but a long test doesn't find any errors
I'm getting the following email/alert from my server:
The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:
Device: /dev/sda [SAT], 1 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors
Device info: CT4000MX500SSD1, S/N:2304E6A3D318, WWN:5-00a075-1e6a3d318, FW:M3CR045, 4.00 TB
I ran a few of the recommended diagnostic commands but they don't show any error/issue.
Current_Pending_Sectorshows 0 and show doesReallocated_Sector_Ct- long test shows no errors
So I'm very confused as to what could be wrong?
