Default SMART long test taking too long


ETA was 2 hours, but it has been running for 15 hours.


SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1
Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours)
LBA_of_first_error

It's been at 90% since the time it was supposed to be finished.

Nothing else looks bad in the output.

It is sitting in a USB dock.

That should be 33693 hours. No idea how that text got deleted.

I aborted the test, dismounted and powered off. Now it seems to have a log
of two tests running concurrently and aborted at the same time.

I started a new test, and it also has a the same ETA of 4 hours (not 2; that
was a typo).

What are you testing it with ? Motherboard, BootCD/USB or
installed software ? If the last, what OS ?
Sounds like a bug, or you could have a rootkit.

The SMART selft test is internal. I initiated it with smartmontools.

Some utilities run their own read-write tests ..... which are
not SMART, but might be a part of the software which does use SMART.

Well, if you did not open two instances of it by mistake (is
that possible ?), then I'd say you have a hardware problem, or
something does not want you to read/write a part of the hard disk.
Try plugging in another hard drive and see if the test runs OK
with that. Use the same USB dock. If it fails, try plugging it in via
the SATA connector, direct. Might be the dock.
