On wtp1043, we have an alert related to a SMART failure, but upon inspection, the SMART checks pass if we `-T permissive` option: ``` wtp1043:~# smartctl -H /dev/sda smartctl 6.6 2016-05-31 r4324 [x86_64-linux-4.9.0-6-amd64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-16, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org Short INQUIRY response, skip product id A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options. ``` ``` wtp1043:~# smartctl -T permissive -H /dev/sda smartctl 6.6 2016-05-31 r4324 [x86_64-linux-4.9.0-6-amd64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-16, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org Short INQUIRY response, skip product id === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART Health Status: OK ``` ... but now I see errors in the kernel logs trying to write to sda.
