Bruce, Any chance into getting RH to include your latest smartctl software before they release RH 10? I think they'll be willing to remove it from kernel-utils and adding your smartmontools-XXX.rpm. -eric wood |

I think they'll be willing to remove it > from kernel-utils and adding your smartmontools-XXX.rpm. I'd like to see this happen but haven't found RH particularly aggressive about doing this. However there last two kernel-utils packages (for beta and Rawhide releases) have had smartmontools man pages/executables (release 5.1-11) inside -- so perhaps they are moving torwards including smartmontools. I suspect that support requests from RH users like yourself might be effective in helping to speed this up-- please see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=3DUNCONFIRMED&b= ug_status=3DNEW&bug_status=3DASSIGNED&bug_status=3DREOPENED&bug_status=3DNE= EDINFO&bug_status=3DMODIFIED&bug_status=3DCLOSED&field0-0-0=3Dproduct&type0= -0-0=3Dsubstring&value0-0-0=3Dsmartctl&field0-0-1=3Dcomponent&type0-0-1=3Ds= ubstring&value0-0-1=3Dsmartctl&field0-0-2=3Dshort_desc&type0-0-2=3Dsubstrin= g&value0-0-2=3Dsmartctl&field0-0-3=3Dstatus_whiteboard&type0-0-3=3Dsubstrin= g&value0-0-3=3Dsmartctl&field0-0-4=3Dproduct&type0-0-4=3Dsubstring&value0-0= -4=3Dsmartd&field0-0-5=3Dcomponent&type0-0-5=3Dsubstring&value0-0-5=3Dsmart= d&field0-0-6=3Dshort_desc&type0-0-6=3Dsubstring&value0-0-6=3Dsmartd&field0-= 0-7=3Dstatus_whiteboard&type0-0-7=3Dsubstring&value0-0-7=3Dsmartd&field0-0-= 8=3Dproduct&type0-0-8=3Dsubstring&value0-0-8=3Dsmartsuite&field0-0-9=3Dcomp= onent&type0-0-9=3Dsubstring&value0-0-9=3Dsmartsuite&field0-0-10=3Dshort_des= c&type0-0-10=3Dsubstring&value0-0-10=3Dsmartsuite&field0-0-11=3Dstatus_whit= eboard&type0-0-11=3Dsubstring&value0-0-11=3Dsmartsuite&field0-0-12=3Dproduc= t&type0-0-12=3Dsubstring&value0-0-12=3Dsmartmontools&field0-0-13=3Dcomponen= t&type0-0-13=3Dsubstring&value0-0-13=3Dsmartmontools&field0-0-14=3Dshort_de= sc&type0-0-14=3Dsubstring&value0-0-14=3Dsmartmontools&field0-0-15=3Dstatus_= whiteboard&type0-0-15=3Dsubstring&value0-0-15=3Dsmartmontools for the list of smartd/smartctl related Redhat reports. You might want to add a "me too" comment to these reports: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D90896 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D92041 If you and a half-dozen other RH users do this, perhaps RH will move to smartmontools either as part of kernel-utils or as a separate package. =20 And they may be planning to do this anyway...
