I've just exchanged the old IBM Travelmate drive in my Dell Inspiron 8200 for a Fujitsu drive: Model: FUJITSU MHT2060AH according to the hardware browser. However, now, whenever I boot up or shutdown/reboot smartd fails to either start or stop. I'd be surprised if a brand new drive like this doesn't support smart monitoring. How should I proceed trying to find out why smartd fails to start? I'm running FC3 FYI. TIA, Darren -- ===================================================================== D. D.
