Hello

I have the same error messages on my OXE (R9.1) VM, after a quite successfull installation.
The same series of messages below is reported by CPU each few minutes :
_____________________________________________
hda: drive_cmd: status=0x41 { DriveReady Error }
hda: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
Smart Values Read failed: Input/output error
_____________________________________________

Does someone know what the reason could be and how to solve it ?
Many thanks in advance.

Regards

Hi,
Those are smart tool output logs. Deactived the smart tool (check smartctl command)

Hi Sadim
Thanks for the valuable recommendation.
But in my case it seems impossible to deactivate it. I use the follwong command "smartctl -d /dev/hda" (which seems to be the right one) and get the following answer from the system :

hda: drive_cmd: status=0x41 { DriveReady Error }
hda: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
Smart Disable failed: Input/output error
Smartctl: Smart Enable Failed

Obviously the issue has to do with the virtualization with WMWare, but I did not notice any malfunction on the application level.

Regards

Hi

smartctl is being invoked by an internal oxe process. So, the easiest way to stop these errors is to replace that executable by something that does not do anything. Example:
login as root
cd /usr/sbin
mkdir smarttool_bck
mv smart* smarttool_bck
touch smartctl
chmod +x smartctl
