  1. I moved over to drive pool from drive bender, and added scanner at the same time.. some of my disks are _old_ but, still working fine.. the SMART data for them is acceptable, except for a few of my older disks, where I now get a daily email saying the head park count is too high.. For the sake of brevity, here's just one of the warnings.. (yes, it's likely the drive actually has that many park cycles, so do it's friends, they all lived in a server that may have been a little too aggressive about parking! They are fine in all other respects though, and have been running for just over 10 years) ATA XXX XXXX-XXX-XX SCSI Disk Device - 1 warnings The head of this hard drive has parked 1,369,995 times. After 300,000 parking cycles the drive may be in danger of developing problems. Drives normally park their head when they are powered down and activate their head when they are powered back up. Excessive head parking can be caused by overzealous power management settings either in the Operating System or in the hard drive's firmware. Now I _really_ want to keep SMART warning emails enabled, so that if say, reallocated sector counts start climbing I will replace the disk, but at the moment, every day I'm just being spammed with an email saying the same thing.. (for 6 disks out of 20 or so).. is there any way I can acknowledge these errors for these disks, to make the emailed warnings less likely to be ignored when eventually one does come through with a different issue?
