Hello, I'm running CentOS 4.4 and am getting an error from smartd. This machine has a single ide drive in it /dev/hda and i was getting a bootup error from smartd, so i uncommented the /dev/hda line in /etc/smartd.conf. The error persisted when i tried to restart smartd, i got a service restart failed and the below error. Any suggestions? On another unrelated subject i'm

Hi, yesterday my linux machine gave me some smartd errors so i checked the disk in another machine and it had defective sectors, I installed a new hard disk on the original machine. Today this is being reported in logwatch. I have a Maxtor (200gig) as hda, a cdrom as hdc and another hard disk that is used for storage as hdd. All plain IDE (not sata) --------------------- Kernel Begin

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*" [ !

last night I checked the log messages on the server Dell PE2950 6xSAS 146G I found the smartd running , I did not request such daemon [root at PowerEdge1 pons]# tail -f /var/log/messages Aug 25 08:27:30 PowerEdge1 smartd[8039]: Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Aug 25 08:27:30 PowerEdge1 smartd[8039]: Opened configuration file /etc/smartd.conf Aug 25 08:27:30 PowerEdge1

Hi, I've CentOS5 box with 3ware RAID controller in it. I can't get the tw_cli command line tool to work, and smartd also barks on me. The tw_cli simply doesn't see the controller, no errors logged anywhere. When starting smartd, it is much more verbose. I'm getting a bunch of messages like this: Oct 9 22:15:15 toporko kernel: program smartd is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl,

It seems I can't smarm monitor disks on RAID controllers? I tried on several machines with two different controllers and on all I get this when starting up smartd: Jul 27 14:36:43 c1 smartd[5944]: Opened configuration file /etc/smartd.conf Jul 27 14:36:43 c1 smartd[5944]: Configuration file /etc/smartd.conf parsed.

I decided, after the last discussion of smartd and S.M.A.R.T. disks, to take a look in my /var/log/messages, and I'm seeing fair bit of this: Sep 10 20:11:23 mhrichter smartd[3361]: Device: /dev/sda, 4294967295 Offline uncorrectable sectors Sep 10 20:41:23 mhrichter smartd[3361]: Device: /dev/hdb, 21 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors Sep 10 20:41:24 mhrichter smartd[3361]: Device:

Hello, I'm using HP homeserver where host system run CentOS 6.3 with KVM virtualization with SELinux enabled, guests too run the same OS (but without SELinux, but this does not matter). Host system installed on mirrors based on sda and sdb physical disks. sd{c..f} disks attached to KVM guest (whole disks, not partitions; needed to use zfs (zfsonlinux) benefit features). Problem is that disks

I notice that the smartd service is not running by default on a new installation. But palimpsest seems to get updated statistics every so often as when I check the statistics on a drive it says "last updated" some number of minutes ago. So if smartd isn't running, where does palimpsest get its information from and what is updating it? Second question, what would enabling the smartd

Hello I seem to be getting some messages via email and in var/log/messages as well, i think its a hard drive gone bad but was wondering if anyone has seen something similar to this or would have some ideas if its fixable or not, here are the messages This email was generated by the smartd daemon running on: host name: localhost.localdomain DNS domain: localdomain NIS domain: (none)

I updated the machine that I use for a web/email server last night to 5.9, and I have this in the logwatch report this morning: QUOTE: --------------------- Smartd Begin ------------------------ Warnings: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], WARNING: There are known problems with these drives, - 1 Time(s) **Unmatched Entries** smartd 5.42 2011-10-20 r3458 [x86_64-linux-2.6.18-348.el5] (local

I'm not used to using smartd, but have a new set of systems that don't have any sort of RAID on them, so I enabled smartd (18 systems 4 SATA drives each). Running CentOS 5.4 64-bit .. One of them has emailed me twice(despite it saying it would only email me once) saying it has 1 Offline uncorrectable sectors But when I try to find more information, smartctl seems to think everything is

I have a system that is logging: smartd /dev/sda currently unreadble (pending) sectors smartd /dev/sda offline uncorrectable sectors The box continues to run fine. Doing "smartctl -H /dev/sda" says: test result: PASSED I have ran the "smartctl -t offline /dev/sda", after the 300+ seconds I rebooted and waited about 30 minutes and again got the above error, and smartctl -H

We have about 50 CentOS servers with software RAID level 1 (mirroring). Each week, we swap out one of the drives (the one in the second of four hot-swap bays, only the first two of which contain drives) on each server and take them offsite for safekeeping. The problem is, the kernel seemingly randomly switches between /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc for these devices. This makes the process slower by

I'm looking to do a bit more monitoring of my 3ware 9550 with smartd, and wanted to see what others were doing with smart for monitoring 3ware hardware. Do you have the smartd.conf configured to test, or simply monitor health status? Are you monitoring the drive as centos sees it (/dev/sdX) or are you using the 3ware /dev/twaX for monitoring? Opinions and discussions are welcome :-P --

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone out there is doing tap:aio disk devices on a Xen HVM vm with any success. Please let me know if you are, and perhaps your version info and a config file snippet. I've posted this to the xen-users list, and what I'm trying to do seems to be correct, works on Ubuntu, Debian, and XenSource; but it doesn't work on CentOS. Here's the snippet from my

I have problems getting the TIMEOUT value work the same way LILO/GRUB does it.. ie it should wait until the timeout and then use the default value. However, it goes straight for the default value without waiting a single second (and a TIMEOUT value of 500 should mean 50 seconds, as it counts in 1/10th of a second, right?)

Hi, I run an Ubuntu Breezy Dom0 under Xen 3.0.1 (official Xen 2.6.12.6 kernels from xen-3.0.1-install.tgz). In the machine i''ve got 2 IDE ATA discs, hda and hdc. The Dom0 runs on hda1 (a big / partition), hda2 is swap. hdc is totally unused (an empty disc, exactly the same model that hda). 8 to 10 domU run from .img files located in /vserver without problems (unmodified kernel
