Description Harris Landgarten 2008-04-15 15:50:48 UTC

rc-status show smartd crashed

ps -ef | grep smart
root      2366     1  0 08:19 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/smartd -p /var/run/smartd.pid

smartctl works as expected.

Restarting smartd clears the crash but it reappears again.

Reproducible: Always

you can try taking the following line out of the init script...

            --pidfile /var/run/smartd.pid \

from the start() section.. NOT the stop()

Comment 2 Harris Landgarten 2008-04-15 18:18:01 UTC

That fixed it

Comment 3 Paolo Pedroni 2008-04-16 12:21:50 UTC

I can confirm it. It did the trick for me as well.
