Hi List, I have a problem with smartmontools on a MSI laptop m670 when I start it with my debian lenny system. Here is the relevant output when starting manually: lenny:/home/sasha# /etc/init.d/smartmontools start Enabling S.M.A.R.T..../dev/sda...done. Starting S.M.A.R.T. daemon: smartd failed! lenny:/home/sasha# cat /etc/default/smartmontools # Defaults for smartmontools initscript (/etc/init.d/smartmontools) # This is a POSIX shell fragment # List of devices you want to explicitly enable S.M.A.R.T. for # Not needed (and not recommended) if the device is monitored by smartd enable_smart="/dev/sda" # uncomment to start smartd on system startup start_smartd=yes # uncomment to pass additional options to smartd on startup #smartd_opts="--interval=1800" lenny:/home/sasha# cat /etc/default/smartmontools # Defaults for smartmontools initscript (/etc/init.d/smartmontools) # This is a POSIX shell fragment # List of devices you want to explicitly enable S.M.A.R.T. for # Not needed (and not recommended) if the device is monitored by smartd enable_smart="/dev/sda" # uncomment to start smartd on system startup start_smartd=yes # uncomment to pass additional options to smartd on startup #smartd_opts="--interval=1800" Can I provide some other needed info? Sorry, I am a linux user but without sufficient tech knowledge. |

Hi Sasha, is this the debian package or self compiled? What version is this?

You could try with smatctl first to find the line you need in smartd.conf I would try something like: smartctl -a -d ata /dev/sda On Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 7:39 PM, sasha <mr...@gm...> wrote: > Hi Lennart and all, > > I have just looked in /var/log/daemon.log > > Mar 25 18:38:45 lenny smartd[2492]: smartd version 5.37 > [i686-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-6 Bruce Allen > Mar 25 18:38:45 lenny smartd[2492]: Home page is > http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ > Mar 25 18:38:45 lenny smartd[2492]: Opened configuration file > /etc/smartd.conf > Mar 25 18:38:45 lenny smartd[2492]: Drive: DEVICESCAN, implied '-a' > Directive on line 22 of file /etc/smartd.conf > Mar 25 18:38:45 lenny smartd[2492]: Configuration file > /etc/smartd.conf was parsed, found DEVICESCAN, scanning devices > Mar 25 18:38:45 lenny smartd[2492]: Device: /dev/hdc, opened > Mar 25 18:38:45 lenny smartd[2492]: Device: /dev/hdc, packet devices > [this device CD/DVD] not SMART capable > Mar 25 18:38:45 lenny smartd[2492]: Device: /dev/sda, opened > Mar 25 18:38:45 lenny smartd[2492]: Device /dev/sda: ATA disk detected > behind SAT layer > Mar 25 18:38:45 lenny smartd[2492]: Try adding '-d sat' to the > device line in the smartd.conf file. > Mar 25 18:38:45 lenny smartd[2492]: For example: '/dev/sda -a -d sat' > Mar 25 18:38:45 lenny smartd[2492]: Unable to monitor any SMART > enabled devices.

So basically it seems to work, now you need to change /dev/sda -a -d sat in smartd.conf with /dev/sda -a -d ata I recommend you read the man pages for future option to add, like scheduled tests and about -m option. Also you should submit your drive to the smartmontools database. -Lennart On Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 9:41 PM, sasha <mr...@gm...> wrote: > Which line should that be?

Thanks Guido but it didn't work that way. It started to function ok when I added /dev/sda -a -d ata Thank you Sasha On Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 8:53 AM, Guido Günther <ag...@si...> wrote: > On Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 09:43:04PM +0100, sasha wrote: > > Here it is: > > > > lenny:/home/sasha# grep ' smartd\[' /var/log/syslog > [..snip..] > > > Mar 25 18:38:45 lenny smartd[2492]: Device: /dev/sda, opened > > Mar 25 18:38:45 lenny smartd[2492]: Device /dev/sda: ATA disk detected > > behind SAT layer > > Mar 25 18:38:45 lenny smartd[2492]: Try adding '-d sat' to the > > device line in the smartd.conf file. > > Mar 25 18:38:45 lenny smartd[2492]: For example: '/dev/sda -a -d sat' > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > This is basically what you have to do in /etc/smartd.conf. 5.38 should > detect this by itself. > -- Guido > > > > > Mar 25 18:38:45 lenny smartd[2492]: Unable to monitor any SMART > > enabled devices.

Thanks, I changed it and it still gives me the message smartd failed here is the smartd.conf # An ATA disk may appear as a SCSI device to the OS. If a SCSI to # ATA Translation (SAT) layer is between the OS and the device then # this can be flagged with the '-d sat' option. This situation may # become common with SATA disks in SAS and FC environments. /dev/sda -a -d ata Sasha On Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 11:49 PM, Lennart Hansen <lah...@gm...> wrote: > So basically it seems to work, now you need to change > > /dev/sda -a -d sat > > in smartd.conf with > > /dev/sda -a -d ata > > I recommend you read the man pages for future option to add, like scheduled > tests and about -m option. > > Also you should submit your drive to the smartmontools database. > > -Lennart > |

Thanks a lot, it works now, for some reason after second reboot of my system, at last no more smartd failed messages. Again, thanks a lot. I will try now to to find way to add my drive to the smartmonools database. I am trying to do this smartctl -t short /dev/sd? to add my drive to the database but I can't see any results? Is this ok or is it something wrong , I presume something is not working as I cant see any output. lenny:/home/sasha# smartctl -t short /dev/sd? smartctl version 5.38 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-8 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ === START OF OFFLINE IMMEDIATE AND SELF-TEST SECTION === Sending command: "Execute SMART Short self-test routine immediately in off-line mode". Drive command "Execute SMART Short self-test routine immediately in off-line mode" successful. Testing has begun. Please wait 2 minutes for test to complete. Test will complete after Wed Mar 26 01:45:55 2008 Use smartctl -X to abort test.
