I have a server with hard drives in it. There are fans blowing directly across the drives. Yet I'm getting these messages in syslog:
| Code: | Jan 6 11:49:30 server smartd[2672]: Device: /dev/sdc [SAT], SMART Usage Attribute: 190 Airflow_Temperature_Cel changed from 73 to 72
Jan 6 11:49:30 server smartd[2672]: Device: /dev/sdc [SAT], SMART Usage Attribute: 194 Temperature_Celsius changed from 27 to 28
|
How can the airflow temperature be so dangerously high and the internal temperature be so entirely ordinary?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Likely because that's the "raw number" field, and it's exactly that - raw, it's the raw number read from the hardware before it has been computed to a real number - and thus doesn't mean it's really that hot. If it were that hot, the other fields in "Value" would be less than "Threshold" which would indicate a failure. If "Worst" is close to "Threshold" that means you could be getting close to failing...
