Hey all,
Attached is a bunch of messages I'm receiving from smartd about
prefailure attribute and usage
attribute for both of my internal drives.  I'm wondering if these
drives are both dying, or if smartd
is misbehaving.  I'm not really familiar with smart, so any clues
would be helpful.
Anyone else seeing excessive messages out of smartd?

Try blanking ( you can back up the file first ) /etc/smartd.conf and reboot
and see if it stills spews out those messages..

Everything in that file is commented out except for a single line:
DEVICESCAN
Comment out DEVICESCAN and remove the top line "# *SMARTD*AUTOGENERATED* /etc/smartd.conf"
and kill -hup SMARTD_PID and check if those messages are still coming...

Did your disable selinux to see if you experience the udev problem..
( or am I the only one.. ) :< ...

Going to try that shortly.


Just comment out DEVICESCAN and add those 2 lines.. that should fix your problem...

/dev/sda -d ata -H -m root
/dev/sdb -d ata -H -m root



Found what was the problem.... :) ( needs to be fixed downstream to fc8 )

The culprit is the smartd-conf.py is missing,
Maybe the ubuntu upstart virus got it.. :s

Summary     : Tools for monitoring SMART capable hard disks
Description :
The smartmontools package contains two utility programs (smartctl
and smartd) to control and monitor storage systems using the Self-
Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (SMART) built
into most modern ATA and SCSI hard disks. In many cases, these
utilities will provide advanced warning of disk degradation and
failure.
