Enabling SMART was no problem before this upgrade. If smartctl requires a configuration file now, it's quite likely the problems are caused by the SATA device. I do have a smartd.conf file though, and it has a '-d sata' for the SATA device. I configured and tested it just a few months ago, so that should still be working. --8<-- /etc/smartd.conf --8<-- /dev/hda -a -m [EMAIL PROTECTED] -n standby /dev/hdb -a -m [EMAIL PROTECTED] -n standby /dev/hde -a -m [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/sda -d ata -a -m [EMAIL PROTECTED] -C 0 -U 0 --8<-- > Could you please check if smartctl -a works for the other configured > disks as expected? /dev/hda --> works /dev/hdb (very old 6.4 Quantum IDE drive): --> "SMART support is: Ambiguous - ATA IDENTIFY DEVICE words 85-87 don't show if SMART is enabled.
