dedicated server spiking
Hi
the main drive on my dedicated server is spiking a lot
so I ran
/usr/sbin/smartctl -q errorsonly -H -l selftest -l error /dev/sda5
and the server responded
Standard Inquiry (36 bytes) failed [Inappropriate ioctl for device]
Retrying with a 64 byte Standard Inquiry
Standard Inquiry (64 bytes) failed [Inappropriate ioctl for device]
Here is the server information
Linux 2.6.18-308.20.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Nov 13 10:15:12 EST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
What command should I use to check the health of the drive?
Thanks in advance for your help
Audrey
