OK -- I see what you mean -- it's definitely doing a short self-test and reporting that all is well. > The system is a Debian Linux system running a custom kernel 2.2.19 with (I > just remembered) the DI-30 ide tape drive patch (the tape drive is no > longer in this system though). > > I can trying using a 2.2.17 or 2.2.19 kernel from Debian proper and see if > the problem goes away, i.e. maybe the ide patch went badly. OK -- I saw from the later email that you tried stock 2.2.17 and still had problems. My understanding is that the needed support is in 2.2.14 and on, but it may be that there were bugs that were fixed post 2.2.17.

This sounds right, and if you're not seeing lots of strange errors like the ones above in syslog, probably the cabling is OK. > I am going to reinstall the whole system with a 2.4 kernel in the next > month or so, and at that time I will open it up and reseat everything and > see if that helps (although I suspect switching to the new kernel with make > a bigger difference). I agree with you that switching to a new kernel will probably help more! Could you let us know if this solves the problem? Cheers, Bruce |

Bruce, I just downloaded and installed the latest version and I was reading the help file and found that there is a way to En/Disable Smart on a device. (-s) When the smartd daemon is started, is Smart automatically enabled on the device or do I need to manually turn it on? Thanks :-) ============================================ Drew J.

Bruce, Thanks for the tip, however, I didn't check out the man page, I simply took a look at the quick help (smartctl -h). I totally forgot about the man page when I was working on this.

Just a note: When I read that in the man page, I wasn't sure whether it meant it attempted to enable SMART support on the actual device, or whether it meant it attempted to enable it's own *monitoring* of the results reported by the device (which was assumed to already have it's own SMART feature enabled). Since smartd "...** monitors ** the (S.M.A.R.T.) system built into many ... hard drives..." (from the man page), that statement can be confusing. -W .......... <<- all the periods I forgot above |

It now reads: smartd will attempt to enable S.M.A.R.T. monitoring on ATA devices (equivalent to smartctl -s on ) and polls these and SCSI devices every 30 minutes (configurable), logging S.M.A.R.T. errors and changes of S.M.A.R.T. Attributes via the SYSLOG interface. Cheers, Bruce |
