Everything > points to this being not a real issue, so I would not worry about it. I have a Gigabyte board too with the nForce4 chip. What is strange is that I have a WD 250Gb hard drive, model JS. It does not return any errors. The drive that returns the errors is a WD 250Gb hard drive, model KS. Go figure. I haven't had any issues either, so I'm ignoring the errors for now. The LKML thread talked about changing the system scripts to not issue unsupported commands. What system scripts, and change them how? That's the part that wasn't clear to me. I suppose he meant /etc/smartd.conf, but so far I'm not sure how to configure it not to issue unsupported commands. Thanks, Dan > > Jonathan > >
