Device not in database: CORSAIR FORCE LX SSD

[Mathias]

My SSD is not in the smartmontools database.
smartctl-X report is attached.

smartctl -x report of a CORSAIR FORCE LX SSD drive

[Christian Franke]

Could be added to existing entry Silicon Motion based SSDs.

Is there a way I could add the disk temporarily to some loca file?
There is a file /etc/smart_drivedb.h on openSUSE which right now is empty...
What would I put in there?

what really puzzles me though is the weird selftest log, must be a data format thing:

kumiko:~ # smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda

I mean, ONE hour of lifetime? That SSD is about 6 years old... and it seems to repeat the same four entries over and over, too.

Copy the Silicon Motion based SSDs entry from ..../smartmontools/drivedb.h to /etc/smart_drivedb.h and add a pattern line to the long regex string, for example:

   { "Silicon Motion based SSDs",
     ...
     "CIS 2S M305 (16|32|64|128|256)GB|" // Ceroz M305, tested with CIS 2S M305 64GB/P0316B
+    "CORSAIR FORCE LX SSD|"
     "CT(120|250|500|1000)BX100SSD1|" // Crucial BX100, tested with CT250BX100SSD1/MU02,
     ...
   }

what really puzzles me though is the weird selftest log, must be a data format thing: ...

This is likely another case of a SSD firmware returning garbage in the self-test log data. This is unrelated to the drive database entry. For further diagnostics, feel free to create a separate ticket.
