Where is the result from disk test(Boot Menu)?

The LCD reads `ERR: Disk 2 disk failure`. The SMART in Peformance shows following. But where is the full result?

  • It's obvious just from looking at those SMART stats that the disk is bad. Huge ATA error and Reallocated sector counts, but most critically a huge Current pending sector count.

    If you download the logs the result of the disk test should be in one of those, I think. Maybe volume.log.

    You could SSH in and do e.g.

    # ls -la /dev/disk/internal
    # smartctl --all /dev/sdb

    The first command will tell you which disk is disk 2 and assuming that's sdb you'd do what's on the second line (change as appropriate).
