Hello,
I am experiencing same warning message on a Debian 13 server upgraded
from Debian 12. Only difference is that on Debian 13, there is extra
message, this happens every hour, I haven't manage to manually trigger
this message. It seems that this appears to be "cosmetic" issue in my case?!
dmesg says:
[Wed Sep 16 10:50:47 2026] program smartctl is using a deprecated SCSI
ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO
[Wed Sep 16 10:50:47 2026] program smartctl is using a deprecated SCSI

[Wed Sep 16 10:50:48 2026] ata3.00: Enabling discard_zeroes_data
Debian 12 did not have message about discarding zeroes - trim?
I have two servers with 2 same (almost) motherboards but different
os/smartmontools versions, it might help?!
