Disable HP SMART Hard Disk Error 301 (alien.top)

Hoping somebody here will have an answer, because I cannot find one by searching online.

I’m running OPNSense on a HP box and it has recently started coming up with SMART Hard Disk Error 301 errors on boot.

Looking into it more, it’s because the usage is >100%. I’m fine with the risks, and I’m already making provisions to a fallback, but having to plug into a keyboard every time I reboot is annoying.

I’ve been through every BIOS menu option and have updated the BIOS itself, but I can’t seem to disable these checks.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

I’d actually try and fix the issue and switch to an ssd boot drive. Why waste time energy effort and now bandwidth ?

Usage of what is > 100%? CPU? Probably stuck in IOwait cycles because your system drive (or its controller) is failing eg. retrying writes or reads.

Ignoring suddenly appearing SMART errors is generally a bad idea.

No, not the CPU. The disk. After a certain amount of hours, the disk is deemed at risk of failure, it’s a statistics thing.

Like I said In my post, I’m well aware of the risks.
