Package: smartmontools Version: 5.38-2+lenny1 Severity: normal Hi,
I suspect my problem is similar to the already archived bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=526011 Iam using a LSI Logic SAS1068 Fusion MPT SAS/SATA controller and luckily the MPT bug that caused the drives to become unavailable is already fixed in linux-image-2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64 (lenny kernel). *** For package 'smartmontools 5.38-2+lenny1': The simptoms are the same as described elsewhere: smartctl works fine for all drives (even without specifying -d sat), smartd on the other hand seems to work only with the last device listed in smartd.conf: -- /dev/sg0 -a -d sat /dev/sg1 -a -d sat -- This configuration gives the following 'smartd -dn' output: -- smartd version 5.38 [x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-8 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Opened configuration file /etc/smartd.conf Configuration file /etc/smartd.conf parsed.
