It doesn't like any entries on this machine. I tried /dev/sda /dev/sda -d scsi Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/md0 16634932 7846800 7943120 50% / /dev/sda1 147764 8653 131482 7% /boot none 386592 0 386592 0% /dev/shm Works like a charm on another box I have that has 2 scsi and 2 ide drives, but no raid on that box.
This message: Device: /dev/sda, IE (SMART) not enabled, skip device means that you need to enable smart on the drive. Use: smartctl -s on /dev/sda to do that.
you the man :-) Wish their was a comment in the config file for that. The man page makes it appear as if smartd itself will do that when starting. I guess what threw me is my other scsi box I did not need to do that command.
The man page says: smartd will attempt to enable SMART monitoring on ATA devices (equivalent to smartctl -s on) and polls these and SCSI devices every 30 minutes (configurable), logging SMART errors and changes of SMART Attributes via the SYS- LOG interface. It may be possible to automatically enable SMART for SCSI devices as well, or alternatively to improve the warning message so that it says to use 'smartctl -s on' to enable SMART. But at the earliest this will be in the 5.27 release.
