Re: [smartmontools-support]Question about use of smartd.conf

[Bruce A. <ba...@gr...>]

Steven,

Could you please send the output of:

/usr/sbin/smartd -d

to the mailing list?

Please note that smartd is only opening /dev/sd[a-c].  

Something else is trying to open /dev/sdd -- perhaps another service
started by an init script around the same time.

Cheers,
	Bruce
