No, the drive is not failing. When you see entries in your log files such as this:




WARNING: Kernel Errors Present


hda: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStat…: 1Time(s)


hda: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }…: 1Time(s)




That is not actually an error. It is the kernel
going out to the hard drive and asking for the S.M.A.R.T thresholds,
and the hard drive is responding by saying it doesn’t support S.M.A.R.T. or, that it is not enabled in the BIOS.



Please try running the following commands to see if they stop the errors:

smartctl -s on /dev/hda


smartctl -s on /dev/hdc

You can check immediately to see if this has resolved your issue (on a cpanel box)  by running these commands:

/scripts/smartcheck


dmesg | tail -4

If you do not see any errors for the current time, then you will know
that this issue is resolved. If the errors return, then we may need to
take your system offline temporarily to check the BIOS settings. Please
submit a ticket in Orbit, reference this KB article, and us know.
