I have a Centos 5.4 machine that has, for the past two weeks, apparently been shut off over the weekend. It's just sitting there turned off on Monday morning and when someone hits the power switch it comes right back on and everything works again. This happened last weekend, and again over this past weekend. Here is /var/log/messages from shortly before it apparently shut down this weekend.

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*" [ !

I've purchased an LG DVD Burner (GSA-E60L) External super Multi DVD Rewiter for my PE2950 Dell Server attached via USB. Can someone guide me to set up the DVD with Linux, and which tools should I use to burn DVD?

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.

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,

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 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 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

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 --

I'm running a CentOS 4 and smartd fails to start on boot the centos 4 smartd service doesn't support scsi ? <mailto:denis.machard at enst-bretagne.fr> Denis -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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 have begun to notice that the smartd stalls my machine's boot process for as much as 2-3 minutes while it is coming up. I have the BIOS SMART function enabled, and I removed the bad SG400GB drive from the box yesterday, but I think this goes back farther than that. Why does it take so long? Is the BIOS SMART involved in this (and how)? Also, sendmail and sm-client take 30s-2m to come up

A few weeks ago, one of my servers started complaining, via smartd, that one drive had one unreadable sector. I umounted it, and ran an fsck -c, then remounted it. Error didn't go away. Now, what's really annoying is that I've gotten back to it today, and it's reporting the problem, as it has for weeks now, every half an hour. However, when I run > smartctl -q errorsonly -H -l

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, I have a software mirror with 2 IDE disks - hda and hdc. I would like to be able to monitor their health using smartd, and I am running /etc/init.d/smartd as a service. I placed the folloing in the /etc/smartd.conf /dev/hda -H -m root /dev/hdc -H -m root I case of a problem I want to be notified by mail, and a message to be logged to the system log. Just want to know if this

Hello, My machine is running Software RAID 5 on /dev/hde1, /dev/hdg1,/dev/hdi1.

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
