smartd problem
 

On my new machine (P4 3.0 Ghz) I can't get smartd to run on startup on my FC2 box. I get the following error message

Oct 21 09:13:44 pczo smartd[1961]: Opened configuration file /etc/smartd.conf
Oct 21 09:13:44 pczo smartd[1961]: Configuration file /etc/smartd.conf parsed.

Oct 21 09:13:44 pczo smartd: smartd startup failed

the smart.conf file just reads

/dev/sda -a

:(
