They are cumulative as far as I know. I have a quartet where 3 Seagates are failing badly according to palimpset and last week one began a heavy clicking noise and certain apps failed to run. That drive holds the apps on that system.<br>
<br>My understanding of palimpset is it can read the counters on the circuit boards of many drives and extract the error data. Those counters are not resetable without damaging the board.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 7:07 PM, Scott Castaline <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:skotchman@gmail.com">skotchman@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

individual drives with the Palimpsest Disk Utilities get reset on power<br>
off or are they cumulative? I'm interested in the Read Error Rate, Seek<br>
Error Rate, High Fly Write, and Hardware ECC Recovered counts. Also what<br>
is the max count each register can hold?<br>
<br>
I'm kind of concerned with my Seagate drives all seem to have high<br>
numbers in these areas, but the WDs are all 0<br>
