I've been wondering what package supplies the smartd daemon that starts at system startup.
rpm -q --whatprovides `which smartd` kernel-utils-2.4-9.1.101.fedora
ok..so even after reinstalling the necessary package I'm getting this message from the services dialog when starting smartd:
smartd dead but subsys locked
apart from the obvious whats it telling me?
Did a little rooting around and found inside the smartd.conf it had listed two drives. I had, at one time two drives in the machine however, the second drive has since been removed. Apparently smartd never got the memo. I removed the second entry in the file and viola! it works now.
Thanks,
