[smartmontools-support] ST12000NM0007 issue

[Eyal Lebedinsky]

[this is a resend as the original was delayed and maybe deleted as I was late to confirm my membership]

I see unusual errors in the smartctl report from the 12TB disk ST12000NM0007.

This is a smartmontools build from the downloaded tar file:
	https://sourceforge.net/projects/smartmontools/files/smartmontools/7.0/smartmontools-7.0.tar.gz/download

Package built with
./configure --sbindir=/home/eyal/smartmontools/sbin \
         --sysconfdir=/home/eyal/smartmontools/etc \
         --mandir=/home/eyal/smartmontools/share/man \
         --docdir=/home/eyal/smartmontools/share/doc/smartmontools \
         --with-initscriptdir=/home/eyal/smartmontools/etc/rc.d

and run as
	sudo smartmontools/sbin/smartctl -x /dev/sdc|less

With the result below - note the last two lines.

Regards
