smarctl output for system
What happens if you back down the kernel? Does it still fail? Also did the version of ide_smart get updated from an older version during this change? From the information given it looks like the plugin is getting denied by the kernel from accessing information to that device.. but it isn't clear which change caused that. OK I was able to generate the exact same error.. but only with a drive that wasn't SMART enabled. /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_ide_smart -d /dev/vda -n CRITICAL - SMART_ENABLE: Inappropriate ioctl for device CRITICAL - SMART_CMD_ENABLE which doesn't explain why smartctl works or that it worked previously. I think we will need to go through more diagnosis to figure out what might cause htis. Before rebooting, I tried turning off selinux enforcement, even though I hadn't seen any AVC errors. This didn't change the result. I then rebooted to the older kernel ( 2.6.32-696.10.3.el6.x86_64 ) and check_ide_smart worked (will attach strace) I then rebooted to the newer kernel (2.6.32-696.13.2.el6.x86_64) -- where it had previously failed -- and check_ide_smart is now working there as well. (will attach strace) Created attachment 1362698 [details]

OK over the holidays I tried to duplicate this but was unable to on my systems with EL6. Since the problem seems transient on your hardware, I am worried this may be very transient as in: motherboard/hard drive controller/hard drive related where if the box is powered up it doesn't work but a reset/warm boot it does. I have seen that with a couple of systems which makes debugging almost impossible because it can only be duplicated with similar equipment. If the problem occurs again, can you see if there are definite reproducers so we can see if we can isolate this to being an issue that is 'fixable' in the software versus being dependent on other factors. nagios-plugins-2.2.1-14.20180725git3429dad.fc28 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 28. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-e9863b9c35 nagios-plugins-2.2.1-14.20180725git3429dad.el6 has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 6. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2018-c191412de6 nagios-plugins-2.2.1-14.20180725git3429dad.el7 has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 7. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2018-ef3a8e1152 nagios-plugins-2.2.1-14.20180725git3429dad.el7 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 7 testing repository.
