    report smartctl failure codes to the user · 3d10fed3

    as it turns out there are a number of issues that do not result in an
    actually bad SMART status and would not get reported to the user. to
    keep the code lean we'll simply look at the exit code bits of smartctl
    as they more or less cover all failure scenarios anyway. we'll then
    translate those to pretty strings and expose them on the Device objects
    for consumption in the qml KCM as "instabilities". they are set visually
    apart from actual bad status through different icon and description
    because it's hard to say if an instability is in fact indicative of
    imminent hard-failure or merely a hiccup (e.g. power loss during a disk
    operation).
