Started a long SMART test 24 hours ago, still not finished...


Recommended Posts

I started a long SMART test on a 3TB WD green drive yesterday. It said it should finish in 483 minutes. I waited that long before checking again, but it hadn't finished. I then tried to run a short test, and it said that another test was in progress with 10% remaining. Now, 14 hours after trying to start a short test, it STILL says 10% remaining.

 

Here is the output when I pull a report:

SMART Error Log Version: 1
No Errors Logged

SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1
No self-tests have been logged.  [To run self-tests, use: smartctl -t]

 

And the output of trying to start a short self test, which hasn't changed in 14 hours:

 

=== START OF OFFLINE IMMEDIATE AND SELF-TEST SECTION ===
Can't start self-test without aborting current test (10% remaining),
add '-t force' option to override, or run 'smartctl -X' to abort test.

 

 

I'm concerned it got to a really trashed portion of the drive or something and is taking forever to pick through it, or maybe the SMART test just got hung up on something. Any ideas?
