Starting smartd: [Failed]

hosammy · 10-18-2005, 10:35 PM

I was using Fedora Core 3 and recently upgrade to FC4.

My Hard Disk Drive config are:
ATA-IDE-0, regonsied as /dev/hda, 40GB Western Ditigal IDE HDD, use to contain the Windows XP system and in NTFS format
ATA-IDE-1, regonsied as /dev/hdb, 40GB Western Ditigal IDE HDD, use to contain the entire Fedora Core system
SATA-IDE, regonsied as /dev/sda, 80GB SATA HDD, use to contain the Windows XP data and in NTFS format
Thus therefore, the only HDD to contain the Linux is /dev/hdb, ie the ATA-IDE-1

However, when booting, either from FC3 or FC4, at the initilal screen, it appears the following message:
Starting smartd: [Failed]
The system seems to be OK after booting when use.

The /etc/smartd.conf content is:
/dev/hda -H -m root@localhost.localdomain
/dev/hdb -H -m root@localhost.localdomain
/dev/sda -H -m root@localhost.localdomain

I have tried to start the smartd again by typing the following at the root terminal:
# /etc/init.d/smartd start
starting smartd: [Failed]

checking the config of /etc/smartd.conf, the contents are:
/dev/hda -H -m root@localhost.localdomain
/dev/hdb -H -m root@localhost.localdomain
/dev/sda -H -m root@localhost.localdomain

By typing #smartctl -a /dev/hda at the root terminal, the result is:
[root@localhost ~]# smartctl -a /dev/hda
