I've got a Seagate disk drive model ST1200MM0088 - 1.2 TB 10K rpm 2.5 in 12Gbps SAS

How can I display the device power on hours (poh) of this drive?
smartctl doesn't seem to show that information.
Here is what smartctl does show;

Code:
smartctl --all /dev/sg2
smartctl 7.1 2020-04-05 r5049 [x86_64-linux-4.18.0-408.el8.x86_64] (local build)

Answering my own question....
I think I found a solution.

I installed the smartmontools package.
Now smartctl seems to report the desired information.

Code:
smartctl -a /dev/sg2
smartctl 7.1 2019-12-30 r5022 [x86_64-linux-4.18.0-408.el8.x86_64] (local build)

Both of those are really old versions. I have:

If smartctl -x doesn't show it, you can always start a background short-test smartctl -t short /dev/disk. It will be the first entry @ # 1 Background short Completed - 57004 - [- - -]

Good point.
I've installed smartmontools from whatever comes out of the CentOS Stream 8 repos.

The server that I was using as a testbed for the initial sanity checks of this drive is still running an aging CentOS Stream 8.
I suppose I need to update it to Stream 9 one of these days.
