Service smartd Problem
Hi guys,

please help me out my smartd service is not being up.

Code:
[daya@kickstart-server ~]$ sudo /sbin/service smartd restart
Shutting down smartd:                                      [FAILED]
Starting smartd:                                           [FAILED]
[daya@kickstart-server ~]$


Take a look of /etc/smartd.conf

Code:
/dev/sda -H -m root@localhost.localdomain


And also take a look of /etc/fstab:

Code:
[daya@kickstart-server ~]$ sudo cat /etc/fstab
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2

LABEL=SWAP-sda2         swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
/dev/hda                /media/cdrom            auto    pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/fd0                /media/floppy           auto    pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
[daya@kickstart-server ~]$

smartd won't work with disks that are not SMART enabled. This might include many off-the-shelf SCSI disks. Check the mail for root to see if any mail is being sent regarding this.
