DSM 7.1 DSM7.1 introduces new drive vendor-locking parameters

DSM 7.1 DSM7.1 introduces new drive vendor-locking parameters

I waded through the different drivedb databases today and, aside from the odd tweak here and there Synology is using a very old version of smartmontools.

Quite simply many database entries are too old or even corrupted to be actually useful.

The entry for my SSDs have extra characters and question marks:

Code:
  { "WD Blue / Red / Green SSDs",
    "WDC WDBNCE(250|500|00[124])0PNC(-.*)?|"
    "WDC  ?WDS((120|240|250|480|500)G|[124]00T)(1B|2B|1G|2G|1R)0[AB](-.*)?",
    "", "",
    "-v 165,raw48,Block_Erase_Count "
    "-v 166,raw48,Minimum_PE_Cycles_TLC "
    "-v 167,raw48,Max_Bad_Blocks_per_Die "

    "WD BLUE",
    "WDC\\s+WDS(250G|500G|100T|200T)2B0B-00YS70",

}

The database is a hot mess.

could you pls upload the file here?

here is the master drivedb.h from smartmontools github:
file is from the date 22.05.2022, which is the same date in the customized Syno drivedb.db:
{ "VERSION: 7.3 $Id: drivedb.h 5387 2022-05-22 14:52:46Z chrfranke $",

but I can’t find in the original drivedb.h the mess from yours:
WDC\\s+WDS(250G…
even in my DSM 6 I don’t have this record (five rows related)
 
yes, it was confirmed by me in post #43:
However, these disks (firmware) already modified with SMART normalized VALUE were added to SmartMonTools DB 3-2 years ago based on the standard SMART DB maintenance from the SmartMonTools.
reason why is the “WDS” part no. included in the drivedb.h
 
@jeyare - Indeed, which means Synology has not maintained the smartmontools drive database since at least March 2019.

I find it abhorrent that a company that specialises in network storage would fail to maintain a drive health database for over 3 years. It is a key part of their system that can trigger 'Critical' warnings to the end user, yet it hasn't been maintained.

I wonder how many customers have swapped-out healthy drives due to Synology DSM errors.

Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus

Gents from smartmontools ask full SMART extract from your SSD:
smartctl -x

They are also curious 🧐

@Robbie

Chris from Smartmontools is amazing guy (support over weekend), his full last response (several iterations):

smartctl 6.5 (build date Oct 7 2021) [x86_64-linux-4.4.180+] (local build)
Please note that this release is 6+ years old.

ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAGS VALUE WORST THRESH FAIL RAW_VALUE
...
230 Media_Wearout_Indicator -O--CK 001 001 --- - 0x0160011e0160
Most thresholds are missing. The normalized value is possibly increasing from 0 instead of decreasing from 100. This is a drive firmware issue which cannot be fixed by a drive database entry. From the ATA standards point of view, it is not a firmware bug because the SMART data structure was never part of any ATA standard.

Device Statistics (SMART Log 0x04)
Page Offset Size Value Flags Description
ATA_SMART_READ_LOG failed: Multi-sector ATA commands not implemented
Read Device Statistics pages 0x00-0x07 failed
Device Statistics usually contains the correct Percentage Used Endurance Indicator but unfortunately this SATA driver does not implement the required functionality to read this log.

There are two alternatives which might disable the false interpretation of attribute 230 by Synology NAS:

Rename the attribute:
-v 230,hex48,Bogus_Media_Wearout_Ind

Move VALUE WORST to RAW_VALUE:
-v 230,hex64,Media_Wearout_Indicator

——————————————————+++
@Robie,
try both ways.
——————————————————+++

Translation for everyone:
1. as was stated in this thread - this case has nothing to do with Synology Drives Lock Strategy (officially)

2. this is a common situation when someone in Syno Dev changed part of their own code; Which was not even in the announcement (for new DSM ver), so it is almost a stupid mistake, which, however, caused a series of stupid consequences and entire NAS malfunctions.

3. What should attract attention is the fact, which I have pointed out several times, that Synology uses many 3rd party tools for core features, which are outdated. They have currently confirmed this directly from Smartmontools support (6y old ver). I don't know why these are such important tools for storage systems, and they are on the fringes of Synology's interest. If they spent at least 10% of their efforts to stabilise the DSM, they would do much more than stick their label on Toshiba drives.

4. On the one hand, it should be Synology's fault; they are not the firmware makers for the WD SSDs. No doubt. On the other hand, they use the Smartmontools, their drivedb.h DB to detect HEALTH CHECK disks in their NASes, update the DB in which they make "weird" edits without logic and do not have a direct link to Smartmontools support - to find a solution. Or find how to keep the SATA driver under control = it’s NAS; it isn’t a computer display. Instead, Synology makes fools of customers about SSD incompatibility and other pearls. Also, asking DSM Debug.dat was pointless.
In the end, the customer has to fix it himself, because the level of knowledge of Syno support is useful in explaining how the NAS turns on.

This is another bad Lesson learned from the Synology Dev and Support attitude and knowledge level.

@jeyare - I've no idea what to do with those changes. Do they require a complete command syntax to write somewhere or do they indicate that a manual edit of a file (eg using VI or similar) is required?

☕
 
Can we update the title of this thread now that we officially know this is not the issue; this is misleading a bit.

Introducing new latent code to exclude other vendor's drives (as they did before the RAM locking went live), running a new set of drive databases under the Syno label, editing a 7 year old version of smartmontools, excluding some drives completely and not updating many more, insisting customers buy their brand of SSD for support, only including their own SSDs for numerous current NASes as the only compatible drives, allowing a drive migration before cutting the drives adrift at a later date, modifying smartctl outside of the licence and without consent of the copyright holders, repeated refusals to provide support for changes they have made to DSM, introducing Synology SSDs that can only be used in Synology NASes, inserting unannounced changes to DSM through otherwise benign updates...

Probably missed a fair bit above but I think it is too early to cast them in a positive manner but I appreciate that others may have a differing view. My last Synology hardware issue I had to resolve myself (PCIe power issue) as they refused any support due to the mere usage of non-Synology drives. The fix cost me ~£200 (bad Synology NIC) and a lot of hours finding the underlying fault but in this case they proposed a circa £10,000 remedy (!), on top of the cost of the completely healthy drives currently installed. In both cases I have been forced to go deeper into Synology's systems than any customer should need to go, whilst being repeatedly mislead, refuted or rebutted by Synology Support. This is not a good customer experience.

☕
 
vi is enough,
tested by me
/var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb.db

Didn't help matters but the changes did have an effect. It drove down the life remaining to 0% (!):

 2022-06-05 at 21.52.56.png


 2022-06-05 at 21.53.25.png


Gone back to the standard DSM settings, so now boasting 1% life remaining again.

Of course, as we can now influence matters I am more positive that a correct syntax can be found.

☕
 
which one from the two proposed solutions was tested with this outcome?

Rename the attribute:
-v 230,hex48,Bogus_Media_Wearout_Ind

or

Move VALUE WORST to RAW_VALUE:
-v 230,hex64,Media_Wearout_Indicator
