Here is another similar report:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.utilities.smartmontools/4704/match=diamondmax
Again, this indicates that SMART is enabled. But it's not clear what the
kernel version here is. The report indicates that the problem started
with an FC7 kernel upgrade

Mark, David, Doug, Tejin, Alan, Jeff, LKML,
I'm afraid that there may be some problem with SMART + libata in the 2.6.22
kernel. An hour ago I discovered that I missed a month of correspondence
(some LKML, some private) about this problem which Alan, Tejun, Jeff, Mark
and others copied to me -- it was automatically shoved into one of my
mailboxes by my mail client. Sorry about that. So I am trying to catch up
to see if there is some real problem or not.
Here is a typical bug report that worries me:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.utilities.smartmontools/4712
Here is another similar report:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.utilities.smartmontools/4713
And another report:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg358354.html
From some of the earlier threads that I missed (below) I have the impression
that the problem may be a very simple one, namely that starting with 2.6.22
one needs to run a command to enable SMART when a box is first booted -- the
kernel no longer does this as part of the init/setup of the disks. But that
is NOT consistent with the first two reports above, which show 'SMART
ENABLED'.
Here are some of the earlier threads that I completely missed:
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0706.1/0849.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg164863.html
Before I go off half-cocked, could anyone shed some light on this? Is there
a real problem here or just something dumb?
Cheers,
Bruce
