[smartmontools-support] SEAGATE-ST18000NM006J - SCSI ASC/ASCQ: 0xb/0x15 ?

[Fredrik Nyström]

Hi,

I'm unable to find a description of 0xb/0x15, does not seem to be in 
SPC-6 rev: 06?

In the past month we have had 3 Exos X18 drives failing with:
SMART Health Status: WARNING: ascq=0x15 [asc=b, ascq=15]

Common to all 3 is a rather high pending defect count (>5000).



I was going to post this as a comment to ticket #1614 but Trac 
registration failed with internal error.

smartctl with commit including patch from ticket #1614 seem to mask 
this problem (ascq can't be 0x15 ?):
SMART Health Status: OK



smartctl 7.1 2020-04-05 r5049 [x86_64-linux-4.18.0-372.9.1.el8.x86_64] (local build)

Product:              ST18000NM006J
Revision:             PSL9

PSL9 may be a Dell specific firmware?
Firmware bug or something not yet in published SPC-6?
