smart does work, the default config from from redhat is wrong see bug
#176835 and #187181. The output from smartctl used to be wrong. The
correct command was sent by Alfred
Use '-d ata'. -d is for device type, not debug.
I was referring to the "-d" flag that you pass to smartd on the command line:
-d, --debug
Start smartd in debug mode
Not the configuration flag that goes into the smartd.conf
configuration file. Sorry for any confusion.
Thanks,
