I have a SAMSUNG SSD 970 Evo Plus (NVMe) running internally in a ASUS PN42 (Intel N100) on OMV Release: 6.9.8-1.
On every boot (power cycle) I get a warning (via e-mail), that the Error Count has increased. Actually it's the parameter "Error Information Log Entries:", which increases quite exactly parallel to "Power Cycles:".

Google mentions, the "Error Information Log Entry" may arise from an invalid command. I expect, chances to locate and suppress this command are quite low. Remaining options are:
* stop smart monitoring this drive - bad idea
* get a false warning on each startup (which occurs daily) - bad idea, but could possibly mitigated by an dedicated e-mail filter
Are there better options? Is it possible to make the smart monitoring "smart" enough to ignore this special value/parameter?
