2. On booting up smartd always fails. It's the only thing that does. I don't know how to make it work, and, as a less powerful solution but one that would likewise suppress this nagging announcement, I don't know what initialisation file to tweak so that no attempt is even made to use it.
Do you have SATA hard disks? Smartd doesn't support SATA (because SATA drivers don't support it) so it always fails in a SATA system. "chkconfig --level 2345 smartd off" will turn it off. Otherwise, edit /etc/smartd.conf
If smartd doesn't work with SATA drives, what should we be using?
smartd ;)
SATA disks *do* support SMART , but the current implementation of libata (if I'm not getting confused) cant send SMART commands to SATA disks yet. When that is fixed, smartd will be able to work with SATA disks.
