But what is 'smartd' and why does it fail? smartd is the SMART Disk Monitoring Daemon. As for why it is failing, I'd look for mentions in your log files: cd /var/log grep smartd * and see what shows up. You might also check /etc/smartd.conf for anything that looks out of place (like checking disks that don't exist or some such). -- Henry Hartley
