Quienes usamos smartmontools (smartctl) para monitorizar el estado de nuestros discos, nos habremos encontrado en algún momento con que en los parámetros de salud del disco nos reportaba Unknown_Attribute.

Smartmontools incluye una base de datos que mapea estos atributos a nombres comprensibles, pero lamentablemente, las distribuciones Linux no suelen actualizar esta base de datos muy a menudo.
Por ejemplo, en el caso de Ubuntu 18.04LTS, se incluye una versión de Julio de 2016. Esto hace que cuando queramos consultar los datos de salud de discos más modernos, es probable que las propiedades no estén en su base de datos y no sepa a que parámetro atribuir cada contador.
Esta base de datos, que está en texto plano, podemos encontrarla en /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h
root@equipo:/var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb# ls -la drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 26 16:09 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 26 15:21 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 157544 Jul 30 2016 drivedb.h
Para actualizarla, podemos descargar la versión más reciente de la drivedb en esta dirección. Abajo del todo de esa página (usa la tecla Fin del teclado), debemos bajarla haciendo click en «Original format»
Una vez reemplazado el archivo de base de datos de smartmontools, es muy posible que ya tengamos la interpretación correcta de esos valores devueltos por el disco:
