failed to read SMART Attribute Data

[dimitris]

i had this email:

This email was generated by the smartd daemon running on:

host name: ***.*****.com
DNS domain: ******.com
NIS domain: (none)

The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:

Device: /dev/sdb, failed to read SMART Attribute Data

For details see host's SYSLOG (default: /var/log/messages).

You can also use the smartctl utility for further investigation.
No additional email messages about this problem will be sent.

with ssh i opened the messages.1 (file messages is empty) and at the end i had this one:

do i have any problem?

Yes, you do
Contact your Data Center and ask them to check your HD. They need to run multiple tests for errors/failures.
