Seagate Barracuda LP固件升级笔记
其实 FreeBSD 本身的 camcontrol(8) 内建了用来刷硬盘/SSD固件的 ‘fwdownload’ 功能,不过因为正好也要稍微调整一下网络的配置,考虑了一下还是去机房本地做好了。
之前 Doug 的观点是刷固件有风险,所以没问题尽量别刷。不过,新版 smartmontools 没事就 nag 一下这事实在是很烦,加上网上找到的说明相当吓人:
The drives are clicking because they are recalibrating due to vibration, the reason they are only exhibiting this issue during idle is because the drive will only recalibrate when idle.
Doing a firmware update to CC35 should resolve this issue.
If it does not you should attempt to mount the drives in a different configuration, we have see using rubber washers can magnify the vibration.
所以还是升级一下好了。CC35 版本固件可以从 这里 下载。
