 |
|
Whenever I boot my system, smartd attempts to start twice. Here is a typical syslog:
| Quote: | Feb 7 20:37:07 [fcron] adding file root
Feb 7 20:37:09 [rc-scripts] WARNING: "smartd" has already been started.
Feb 7 20:37:09 [smartd] smartd version 5.33 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen_
Feb 7 20:37:09 [smartd] Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/__
Feb 7 20:37:09 [smartd] Opened configuration file /etc/smartd.conf_
|
Sometimes, I don't get any "smartd already started" warnings, but end up with 2 smartd processes running.
If I enter rc-update del smartd default, smartd doesn't start at all.
Does anyone have any guesses? |

Can you post the output of:
| Code: |
grep -il smartd /etc/init.d/*
|
And what is your contents of /etc/conf/local.start and /etc/conf.d/smartd? |

tdemarest - thanks for the response.
I'll post that tonight when i get home.
I worked around the problem last night by removing smartd from the default runlevel and adding /etc/init.d/smartd start to /etc/conf.d/local.start.
Kind of stupid, but at least I have 1 smartd starting now with no errors. |

I already grepped /etc, but didn't find any unexpected matches for smartd. Also unmerged smartctl, deleted all the smartd stuff from /etc, and re-emerged smartctl, but no joy.
Today for an unrelated reason I did a BIOS update and hoped maybe some SMART issue in the BIOS was somehow causing this, but it didn't make any difference.
