Package: ledmon Version: 0.74-1
ledmon 0.74-1 contains a bug that breaks PCIe SSD devices on Dell Server Hardware. The Dell PCIE SSDs do not have a 'hostN' field in their sysfs paths as they are block devices directly connected to their host PCI device. The bug causes these devices to stop being recognized properly in the OS. A patch was applied upstream to fix the problem: http://ledmon.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=ledmon/ledmon;a=commitdiff;h=d6b7c55869fa7a5224844407ef2d5aab785c4db8 Install ledmon 0.74-1 onto a Dell PowerEdge server with the appropriate PCIE SSD hardware. run 'sudo ledmon' to start the led monitor. Look in /var/log/syslog..you'll see messages such as the following repeated continuously several times as the OS tries to figure out what the SSD device is: ledmon[2449]: Device (null) : No host_id! ledmon[2449]: DETACHED DEV '(null)' in failed state With the upstream patch in place and after restarting ledmon, the "no host_id" and "DETACHED_DEV" messages will go away and the PCIe SSD devices are detected correctly.
