I believe #smartmontools can be used to check how much data has been written to a drive. This is helpful to run when receiving a "new" drive for validation purposes. Is there something similar for #eMMC? Unfortunately it appears that smartmontools does not work with emmc. :(
I've never been fond of #JMicron #USB bridges! #SATA or #NVMe! (#ASMedia ain't much better?)
It's just a pain in the rear to pull #SMART reports off the drive!
NO, i friggen DO NOT WANT TO fumble around with "-d", and quirks, and shiz!
Tools on friggen #Windows (#CrystalDiskInfo) CAN DO it, so SHOULD smartmontools on #Linux, automatically!
(back in the 480mbps USB 2.0 days - things were BETTER - current #Linux code hasn't caught up)
…or is it #Firmware?

Es geht weiter in meiner Artikelreihe: #FreeBSD als Server.
Die beiden Themen "S.M.A.R.T Überwachung und Selbsttest" und "Monit Systemüberwachung auch für ZFS Pools" wurden ergänzt.
My main hard disk drive started crying for help through new errors reported by #smartmontools. I decided to look into the problems and wrote down the whole process of healing the #btrfs disk:

If you use btrfs file systems on GNU/Linux, this may be interesting for you.

Aufräumscript ist das richtige Stichwort - ich denke meist erst ans Aufräumen, wenn die Platten voll sind. 😏
Ab einem gewissen Alter (#smartmontools) tausche ich sie pro-aktiv - und da die neuen für gleiche Geld doppelt so groß sind, entfällt dann auch das lästige Aufräumen. 😏
