Description of problem:
My disk layout is special, I've had to put the HDD on the secondary
IDE controller, while the CD in on the primary.

During the system boot, the service smartd couldn't start.

I found out /etc/smartd.conf was pointing to /dev/hda and not /dev/hdc
like it should be.
I suppose it's not configured by the install scripts.

Just to tell..

Cheers,
zimba

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-utils-2.4-9.1.131

How reproducible:
Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put your CD-ROM drive on primary and HDD on secondary IDE controller
2. Install FC2
    

Actual Results:  The daemon smartd doesn't start

Expected Results:  The daemon smartd should start
/etc/smartd.conf should be configured right

Additional info:
 None

Hi Jonas,

There have been a number of similar reports, about the way in which
/etc/smartd.conf is configured 'out of the box' in Fedora core.  I
don't know if the maintainers plan to change this in the future.  As
you suggest, an installer which configures smartd.conf based on the
machine's hardware would make sense.  An alternative is to use the
DEVICESCAN directive in /etc/smartd.conf, but this could potentially
cause problems with some USB devices (although I think that in recent
smartmontools releases such as 5.30 this is unlikely to happen, since
a great deal of sanity-checking is done).

Cheers,
    Bruce

Okay,

Thanks for your advice, I really looked in the search but didn't find
those cases. Too bad, I wanted to post my first real bug :)

Cheers,
 Jonas
