Hey all... I got this email from my server this morning...


Subject was "[cPanel smartcheck] Possible Hard Drive Failure Soon"

S.M.A.R.T Errors on /dev/hda
From Command: /usr/sbin/smartctl -q errorsonly -H -l selftest -l error /dev/hda
ATA Error Count: 52 (device log contains only the most recent five errors) Error 52 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 10166 hours Error 51 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 10166 hours Error 50 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 10166 hours Error 49 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 10166 hours Error 48 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 10166 hours
----END /dev/hda--


Should I be concerned about this?

Can you please show the output of smartctl -A /dev/hda ?

I do not see anything wrong in that output. Run the command the email used:
