Not sure this fits anywhere, and surely not a Gentoo issue...

Anyone have a Crucial M4 SSD and run Gnome?

gdu-notification-daemon keeps on reporting that there were lots of relocated sectors. And it's true, when I smartctl -a the SSD, there are thousands in the column for raw value - I get as below in smartctl and something like 110K in palimpsest. (My other SSD in my workstation (Intel SSD520 series 180GB) does not look like this...)

Code:
ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME          FLAG     VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE      UPDATED  WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE
  1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate     0x002f   100   100   050    Pre-fail  Always       -       0

199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count    0x0032   100   100   001    Old_age   Always       -       0
202 Data_Address_Mark_Errs  0x0018   100   100   001    Old_age   Offline      -       0
206 Flying_Height           0x000e   100   100   001    Old_age   Always       -       0

The SSD controller does not think it's a problem else it should have failed it as Pre-fail.

I don't see any real issues with the disk so far, it seems to be reading/writing just fine, getting in excess of 500MB/sec on sequential reads.

For now I've disable gdu-notification-daemon but it would be nice for it to report real issues... or is this really a real issue and Crucial should expect a RMA?

[RESOLVED]

It looks like this is "NORMAL" and Crucial won't fix this by replacement.

I guess gdu-notification will need to be modified to accommodate this issue...

how about: write crucial support a nice email and ask for clarification?

I wonder how Linux friendly they are... once they ask me to run some-diagnostic.exe for Windows support do will I get shot down...

Update:

I got an email response back from them. They basically say unless it's failing it's not failing... Ugh...

So that means I have to fix gdu-notification-daemon to do what I really want...

Looks like my next SSD may be another Intel... or something...

I found Micron/Crucial's documentation for SMART fields so I added this into my SMART database:
Code:
{
        "Crucial M4 series",
        "M4-CT.*M4SSD.",
        "00.*",
        "",
        "-v 170,raw48,Grown_Fail_Blocks -v 171,raw48,NAND_Program_Fail -v 172,raw48,NAND_Erase_Fail -v 173,raw48,Avg_Erase_Count -v 174,raw48,UnexpectedPowerLoss -v 181,hex48,Unaligned_Accesses -v 183,raw48,SATA_Downshifts -v 189,raw48,FactoryBadBlocks -v 202,raw48,Device_Life_Used -v 206,raw48,Write_Error_Rate"
},


This makes it a bit more clear what the unknown fields are:
Code:
  1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate     0x002f   100   100   050    Pre-fail  Always       -       0
  5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct   0x0033   100   100   010    Pre-fail  Always       -       55296 (0, 1)

 12 Power_Cycle_Count       0x0032   100   100   001    Old_age   Always       -       66
170 Grown_Fail_Blocks       0x0033   100   100   010    Pre-fail  Always       -       59
171 NAND_Program_Fail       0x0032   100   100   001    Old_age   Always       -       0
172 NAND_Erase_Fail         0x0032   100   100   001    Old_age   Always       -       0

196 Reallocated_Event_Count 0x0032   100   100   001    Old_age   Always       -       59
197 Current_Pending_Sector  0x0032   100   100   001    Old_age   Always       -       0
198 Offline_Uncorrectable   0x0030   100   100   001    Old_age   Offline      -       0
199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count    0x0032   100   100   001    Old_age   Always       -       0
202 Device_Life_Used        0x0018   100   100   001    Old_age   Offline      -       0
206 Write_Error_Rate        0x000e   100   100   001    Old_age   Always       -       0


Still unsettling it had so many bad blocks from the factory... And I don't know why, despite my partitions being 4K aligned, is still reporting unaligned accesses...

basically, "It's normal" and no new disk unless value is less than threshold for SMART failure....
I guess this means that even though the bad blocks were "grown" it's time to change software to accommodate...

Thanks. I won't buy a Micron/Crucial.

Yeah I don't know, suppose that's the way to go if you don't want any chance of annoyances... still see a lot of people with good disks, might have to "stress test" this disk for the heck of it... But with SSDs, pretty much everything is logged, not sure what can really be done...

The Crucial/Micron is still very fast, and no lost data yet...

Need to get more samples though, this is just one...

I think I've had Samsung & Intel on my list, but haven't kept up with prices. I'm considering a few for some systems.

They've all come down a lot. So far I'm pretty happy with my Intel 520-series SSD.
