I created a smartd.conf: /dev/sda -d scsi -m root@xxxxxxxxxxx /dev/sdb -d scsi -m root@xxxxxxxxxxx /dev/sdc -d scsi -m root@xxxxxxxxxxx /dev/hda -d ata -m root@xxxxxxxxxxx When I started smartd I got the following output. I'm curious about the modprobe errors and also why it complained about /dev/sdd (which doesn't exist and is not mentioned in the conf file). Anyone have any experience with this?
