Script to quickly scan the S.M.A.R.T. health status of all your hard drive devices in Linux (at least all the ones from /dev/sda to /dev/sdzz). You need smartctl installed on your system for this script to work, and your hard drives need to have S.M.A.R.T. capabilities (they probably do).

smartcheck.sh

#!/bin/bash

# install the smartctl package first! (apt-get install smartctl)

if sudo true
then
   true
else
   echo 'Root privileges required'

   exit 1
fi

for drive in /dev/sd[a-z] /dev/sd[a-z][a-z]
do
   if [[ ! -e $drive ]]; then continue ; fi

   echo -n "$drive "

   smart=$(
      sudo smartctl -H $drive 2>/dev/null |

      grep '^SMART overall' |

      awk '{ print $6 }'
   )

   [[ "$smart" == "" ]] && smart='unavailable'

   echo "$smart"

done

Ya, the uncorrected errors would defiantly land that disk on my "SUS" list! Even the volume fast ECC corrections would get it a "warn" from me. Sometimes uncorrected errors just happens though, and that isn't a big number. But I can totally see wanting that out of your array!

If it is a performance sensitive production environment, I would 100% yank that drive just because. Those retries can cause odd performance issues for customers that are almost impossible to pinpoint as the cause.

I do have some HGSTs that are 8 years old now and still going strong, some with almost as many fast ECC errors, but others that I have evicted just because some of those metrics were increasing at an unhealthy rate. I have the luxury of having 4 parity disks though. That plus regular scrubbing I might keep that one in my cluster unless it got worse. If I didn't have that, I would not trust it. But I am a cheapskate when it comes to my home lab!
