-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've noticed that smartd doesn't monitor my drives. How do I get it to look at and monitor my two SATA drives? I added /dev/sda -a /dev/sdb -a to the smartd.conf file. When I restart the smart daemon, the smartd.conf file is rewritten without those two lines. The log file indicates that smartd is not monitoring any drives: smartd[3343]: Configuration file /etc/smartd.conf parsed but has no entries (like /dev/hda) smartd[3343]: Monitoring 0 ATA and 0 SCSI devices smartd[3345]: smartd has fork()ed into background mode. New PID=3345. I can see them manually through smartctl. # smartctl -a /dev/sda smartctl version 5.37 [i386-redhat-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-6 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 and 7200.7 Plus family Device Model: ST3160023AS Serial Number: 5MT0RRAN Firmware Version: 8.12 User Capacity: 160,000,000,000 bytes Device is: In smartctl database [for details use: -P show] ATA Version is: 6 ATA Standard is: ATA/ATAPI-6 T13 1410D revision 2 Local Time is: Mon Oct 22 07:56:52 2007 CDT SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.
