Actually, let's make this into a public request; if you have a HDD with failing SMART attributes of any sort, please run `smartctl --attributes --json` with a decently recent version (the nixpkgs one is definitely good enough) and send me the output!
(I'm specifically interested in how failing metrics are represented, so completely healthy drives are not useful here)
@Zurdo Thanks! This is very helpful, and confirms what I suspected - the when_failed values are different in the JSON output compared to the plaintext output :)
(Now to find someone with a disk that is "failing now" and my data should be complete :p)
@Zurdo Oh, actually, this helped me find the responsible code in the source code: https://github.com/mirror/smartmontools/blob/4591526a9de7dceca255783390236bcdf61778b7/ataprint.cpp#L1285
So my data is already complete now, thanks :)
