Does using smartctl -a -d 3ware,0 /dev/twe0 -m root make it work again ? It should do, as it uses an alternative interface that should still be present. Problem also occurs in FC3 with latest kernel patch. I tried the workaround above, placing the commands in my smartd.conf and received the following error: smartd[11286]: File /etc/smartd.conf line 1 (drive smartctl): unknown Directive: /dev/twe0 smartd[11286]: Run smartd -D to print a list of valid Directives. Jan 15 12:04:28 charon smartd[11286]: Configuration file /etc/smartd.conf has fatal syntax errors. smartd: smartd startup failed OK, I changed the syntax around and here is a smartd.conf which now appears to be working: /dev/twe0 -a -d 3ware,0 -a -m root /dev/twe0 -a -d 3ware,1 -a -m root /dev/twe0 -a -d 3ware,2 -a -m root /dev/twe0 -a -d 3ware,3 -a -m root /dev/twe0 -a -d 3ware,4 -a -m root /dev/twe0 -a -d 3ware,5 -a -m root /dev/twe0 -a -d 3ware,6 -a -m root /dev/twe0 -a -d 3ware,7 -a -m root I have no /dev/twe0 on my Fedora Core 2. How to create it? The short answer is that smartd creates the twe device files when it finds /dev/twe0 in smartd.conf. However the smartmontools included with FC2 (in the kernel-utils rpm) isn't up to date enough to create the twe device files. I built the new smartmontools package using the development SRPM and installed that, which works just fine. http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/development/i386/SRPMS/smartmont ools-5.33-1.2.src.rpm Once downloaded issue the command "rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'dist fc2' smartmontools-5.33-1.2.src.rpm" and the RPM should be found in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386. It works well, but I had to compile the following packages too... dmidecode lm_sensors smartmontools x86info hardlink irqbalance cpuspeed readahead Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match. FC4 split kernel-utils up, which makes it easier to upgrade to individual packages. The smartmontools package there should also be current. |
