Hello, I cant use GUI (using SCALE 24.10.0.2) for smart tests on nvme disks so I’ve used:
“sudo smartctl -t long /dev/nvme0” (tried short as well) and it looks fine however when Im runing:
“smartctl -l selftest /dev/nvme0” or “smartctl -a /dev/nvme0”
I immediately see that it completed without errors, is this normal that even long smart test on nvme is basically instantaneous? I’ve never run smart on nvme and I know that smart tests with nvme’s are different than on HDD’s, but still I didnt expect it.
What if you use the nvme tool?
To run a short test:
nvme device-self-test -s 1h /dev/nvme0
To run a long test:
nvme device-self-test -s 2h /dev/nvme0
To check the progress:
nvme device-self-test -s 0h /dev/nvme0
To view the completed tests:
nvme self-test-log /dev/nvme0
Substitute for your device name.
Each vendor is different. I don’t understand half of what I read with their “codes”.
You can find out more with:
nvme <subcommand> --help
