Re: Offline Data Collection cannot be enabled in FreeBSD

Sergey,

I have poor access at the moment.  Could you check in the os_netbsd and 
os_freebsd changes?

Cheers,

I think it was a patch off CVS HEAD.  I will try to test it as soon as 
possible, and fix it if needed.  Did you reproduce the problem youself?

I didn't myself but I have several bug reporters ready to test a "beta" 
build of smartmontools + patch.
As they did report the failure, I'm pretty sure they'll report success 
or comments ;o)

Error starting smartmontools on Debian

Hello list,

here is my problem: when I start up my Debian SID, I get errors about
smartmontools.
Here is the relevant output when starting manually:

loop:~# /etc/init.d/smartmontools start
Starting S.M.A.R.T. daemon: smartd failed!

Here my config. files:

loop:~# cat /etc/default/smartmontools
# Defaults for smartmontools initscript (/etc/init.d/smartmontools)
# This is a POSIX shell fragment

# List of devices you want to explicitly enable S.M.A.R.T. for
# Not needed (and not recommended) if the device is monitored by smartd
#enable_smart="/dev/hda /dev/hdc /dev/sda /dev/sdb"

# uncomment to start smartd on system startup
start_smartd=yes

# uncomment to pass additional options to smartd on startup
#smartd_opts="--interval=1800"

And the /etc/smartd.conf file just has following *uncommented*

/dev/hda -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03) -m boniforti.f <at> gmail.com
/dev/hdc -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03) -m boniforti.f <at> gmail.com
/dev/sda -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03) -m boniforti.f <at> gmail.com
/dev/sdb -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03) -m boniforti.f <at> gmail.com

What is wrong? Where is some more logging info to be read?

Thanks in advance,
Flavio.

Here it was:

Mar  2 18:59:24 loop smartd[3275]: Device /dev/sda: ATA disk detected
behind SAT layer
Mar  2 18:59:24 loop smartd[3275]:   Try adding '-d sat' to the device
line in the smartd.conf file.
Mar  2 18:59:24 loop smartd[3275]:   For example: '/dev/sda -a -d sat'

I just added this "-d sat" and it doesn't tell me anymore errors 

Thanks!!!

Re: FW: New behaviour in trunk

Hi Jorge,

Thanks for the positive report.  I'd feel much better if there was someone 
who could test my patch on a system containing IDE disks (/dev/hd*) SATA 
disks (through libata as /dev/sd*), and SCSI disks (/dev/sd*).

I think I can easily remove the un-necessary warnings.  I'll have a look.

Cheers,
 	Bruce

Hum, I can add a SCSI controller and do that test.
Just give me 1/2 days and I'll do it and give you feedback ok?

Re: New behaviour in trunk

Hi Erwan,

I can not reproduce the failure of the patches to apply cleanly to the 
smartmontools CVS. If I understand correctly, the users were reporting 
failure to patch the files properly.  I just had a user report that they 
could do the patching, and also I just did this successfully:

cvs co sm5
cd sm5
patch < patch1
patch < patch2

If the patches did not apply cleanly, could you please try to reproduce 
this and send me the error transcript?  It would also be helpful to have 
the output of the command: 'ident smartd.cpp smartd.h'.  Or get these from 
the users please!

Cheers,
 	Bruce
