You can add '-i 9' to the smartd.conf entry for this device to suppress 
future warning mails.


Smartd reported the failed attribute because VALUE <= THRESH:

ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME  ... VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE ... WHEN_FAILED RAW...
...
.9 Power_On_Hours   ... 001   001   001    Old_age  FAILING_NOW 64880

Yes. Other attributes look good, even after 64880 hours (7+ years) 
uptime :-)


Many recent drives return threshold 0 for Power_On_Hours and all other 
usage ("Old_age") attributes which means that these would never "fail".
