My box has an uptime of 400 days, but I saw one disk smart reported online hours of 270 hours. I suspect someone hot swapped that disk. How to find out?

Power_On_Hours 0x0032 100 099 000 Old_age Always - 276

  • A confusing question, especially its body against the title. First of all, volumes (FS instances, also called partitions) are mounted, not “disks”. Secondly, disk (containing the volume) could be physically offline whereas the OS may deem the volume mounted.

For nfs you can view the age parameter in /proc/self/mountstats - it's in seconds.

  • That would of course only apply to read/write mounts of an ext* file system.
