Re: [smartmontools-support] Smart and the -i flag?

[Joan <as...@gm...>]

The current line in my smartd.conf is this (it has been like this since the
begin)
> /dev/sda -i 167 -H -d ata -m us...@ex... -s
(S/../.././02|L/../../6/04)

The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:
> Device: /dev/sda [SAT], Failed SMART usage Attribute: 167
Unknown_Attribute.

Also sent via mail:
> The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:

Unknown_Attribute.

It seems to me that it's ignoring the flag, but I don't see how to proceed.

The whole config (sdd is a remoable external usb)
$ cat /etc/smartd.conf  | egrep -v "(^$|^#)"
/dev/sda -i 167 -H -d ata -m us...@ex... -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/04)
/dev/sdb -H -d ata -m us...@ex... -s (S/../.././03|L/../../7/04)
/dev/sdc -H -d ata -m us...@ex... -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/04)
/dev/sdd -H -d sat -T permissive -m us...@ex... -s
(S/../.././03|L/../../7/04)
/dev/sde -H -d ata -m us...@ex... -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/04)
/dev/sdf -H -d ata -m us...@ex... -s (S/../.././03|L/../../7/04)
DEVICESCAN -d removable -n standby -m root -M exec
