Hi @JemZhu, I don't know why a dd clone would lock it down in any way. Can you share some more information to understand what the drive is doing exactly?...

Hi @calestyo, Thanks for the question! The "SMART guy" is OoO at the moment, but I will pass this to him...he is the one who reviewed the wiki for accuracy...

Hi @calestyo, I was able to talk to our "SMART guy" about this question, and I made some clarifications in the [Wiki](https://github.com/Seagate/openSeaChest/wiki/Drive-Health-and-SMART#seagate-hdd-smart-attributes). The short version is that list of attributes...

It sounds like the compiler is not reading the date correctly. What happens if you run this? `echo 'const char *d = __DATE__;' | cc -E -` Or change `cc`...

I am now super confused because that is the exact same macro used to set it in [the source](https://github.com/Seagate/openSeaChest/blob/develop/src/openseachest_util_options.c#L211). I'll see if I can recreate this on a machine I...

Hi @serpro69, Thank you for reporting this! I'll see if I can submit a request to rebuild this package with the updated version of SeaChest_Firmware.

Hi @ThatDawgMeta, That is odd behavior. If you run `openSeaChest_Format -d PD2 --progress format -v4 > verboseProgress.txt` and then share that on this issue so I can review it?
