A more complete log excerpt is attached. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel >= 2.6.20-1.2952. NOTE: It seems that there are several related bugs; see Bug references below. How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1.(re)start smartd; 2.observe error messages to /var/log/messages OR dmesg OR STDOUT. 3. Actual results: Errors logged as above. Expected results: Normal error-free (re)start of smartd as with kernels < 2.6.20-1.2952. The errors started to appear on June 2, which was first system reboot after install of (my currently-running) kernel 2.6.20-1.2952 on June 1. No such errors logged/observed prior to June 2/kernel 2.6.20-1.2952.

(This is a mass-update to all current FC6 kernel bugs in NEW state) Hello, I'm reviewing this bug list as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora!

Changing version to 7. It appears that the bug has changed between F6 and F7 though - it seems as though smartmon is timing out reading the status from the drive perhaps.
Update: "Errors" still present on (2) machines running F7, kernel-2.6.23.15-80.fc7.i386, smartmontools-5.37-3.3.fc7, Smolts: http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=pub_b4a1d9f5-e2fd-4428-86a4-e1839f36e6da, http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=pub_4caba599-039f-4ac7-ae9a-d03c56e839b3; No such errors noted on (1) machine just upgraded to F8, kernel-2.6.24.3-12.fc8.i386, smartmontools-5.37-7.3.fc8 (but I'm still skeptical and keeping an eye on it...), Smolt: http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=pub_136d9c2b-6c5c-4414-9069-040715716a4c.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
