 Hello!

 I have a file server with two identical hard drives ( WDC WD800JB ) 
bought on the same day.
 Never experienced any problems with the drives when suddenly I started 
getting strange warning messages a few weeks ago:

 Aug  1 17:01:13 graviton smartd[166]: Device: /dev/hdb, SMART 
Prefailure Attribute: 7 Seek_Error_Rate changed from 200 to 100
 Aug  1 17:31:13 graviton smartd[166]: Device: /dev/hdc, SMART 
Prefailure Attribute: 7 Seek_Error_Rate changed from 200 to 100
 ...
 Aug  2 04:31:13 graviton smartd[166]: Device: /dev/hdc, SMART 
Prefailure Attribute: 7 Seek_Error_Rate changed from 100 to 200
 Aug  2 05:01:13 graviton smartd[166]: Device: /dev/hdb, SMART 
Prefailure Attribute: 7 Seek_Error_Rate changed from 100 to 200
 ... repeats tens of times with a few hour interval ...

 The drives are /dev/hdc and /dev/hdb. Notice how they both report the 
same warning message.

 These are not the only warning messages I get:
 I have scheduled short Self-Test every day at 4am and a long test once 
a week at 5am.
 Aug  4 04:01:13 graviton smartd[166]: Device: /dev/hdb, skip scheduled 
Short Self-Test; 90% remaining of current Self-Test.
 Aug  4 04:01:14 graviton smartd[166]: Device: /dev/hdc, skip scheduled 
Short Self-Test; 90% remaining of current Self-Test.

 And this message repeats every night at 4am and once a week at 5am, at 
the scheduled test times.
 The messages make me think that the Self-Test is stalled. Also notice 
that again both drives report the same thing.

 Any ideas what's going on?!

 Using smartd version 5.30.
