Hello list, I see there's a server calld smartd. I know it monitors SMART system. But my question is another one. Trying with several identical machines, the performance would noticeably drop down if you enable SMART on bios, during disk cloning (using norton ghost). In fact, it has fallen to half-speed, compared with it has with smart disabled on bios. Is this difference as obvious in fedora? Will this smartd daemon make my system slower? Thanks for the info. -- []s Alexandre Ganso 500 FOUR vermelha - Diretor Steel Goose Moto Group
