Hello, I have a new cPanel server, which does not have any use. It"s installed on Friday and last night I got this message. Subject: FailedReadSmartData Message: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], failed to read SMART Attribute Data the question is, should I be worried?

  This is not cPanel related at all, and I'm sure a couple seconds of Googling would have given you the answers you were looking for. It could mean there is an issue but it could also be a configuration error with smartctl. Using smartctl to get SMART status information on your hard drives - TechRepublic

  Hello :) I suggest contacting your data center/hosting provider or a qualified system administrator if you are not comfortable investigating potential hard drive errors. Thank you.
