Yohoo! I have some issues with the smartd in CentOS5/x64 I edited the /etc/smartd.conf for my needs and restarted the smartd with "service smartd restart". But the start script is overriding my file. I checked it and saw the following lines: ---------------/etc/init.d/smartd------------ case "$1" in start | reload | restart) GEN_CONF="*SMARTD*AUTOGENERATED*" [ ! -f /etc/smartd.conf ] || read DUMMY GEN_CONF DUMMY </etc/smartd.conf \ && [ "$GEN_CONF" == "*SMARTD*AUTOGENERATED*" ] \ && smartd-conf.py 2>/dev/null >/etc/smartd.conf.new-autogenerated \ && mv -f /etc/smartd.conf.new-autogenerated /etc/smartd.conf ;; esac ---------------/etc/init.d/smartd------------ So how can I prevent my file beeeing overriden without editing this script (which will probably get lots the next update)? ------/etc/sysctl/smartmontools--------- # command line options for smartd smartd_opts="-q never" ---------------------------------------- Any ideas?
