#1568 new defect

smartctl messages ‘Error: UNC at LBA’ invalid value for Windows

Reported by: zlsd Owned by:
Priority: minor Milestone: undecided
Component: smartctl Version: 7.2
Keywords: ata Cc:

Description

The value displayed as LBA is interpreted in Windows erroneously unlike Linux

For example, the error 248

Linux Error: WP at LBA = 0x008c3c2e = 9190446
Windows Error: WP at LBA = 0x3c008c2e = 1006668846

These are different error logs because you only used -a instead of -x on Linux. Only the SMART Extended Comprehensive Error Log supports 48-bit LBA. The legacy SMART Error Log might return truncated or bogus values for LBAs > 28-bit.

Try smartctl -x -a ... on both systems and compare the results.

Also try with -F xerrorlba as the above output suggests that the firmware has a common byte ordering bug in the extended log.
