I have a peculiar situation:
When my FC1 boots up,it gives a message:
Starting smartd: [FAILED]
When it shuts down ,it gives message:
Stopping smartd: [FAILED]
Everything ,the desktop etc. works fine -there is no problem.But what is
'smartd' and why does it fail?
It's a daemon that monitors disks that conform to the SMART
specification. Of course, you'd know that if you had done "man smartd".
It's failing because a) it's not configured or b) you don't have SMART-
compliant disks. Check /var/log/messages for any error messages it
may spew out while starting.
