Yeah. I've had it where the machine wouldn't boot because SMART was saying
the drive was failing, and I had to turn off SMART to run the machine. And
since it was just essentially a compute-node with nothing on the drive that
wasn't in the repository, I left it run another 9 months before the drive
eventually did fail.
Pretty useless, IME, also.
