In all my systems I have got this: WARN: postinst WARNING: There's already a drive database in '/var/db/smartmontools'! Because we cannot determine if this database is untouched or was modified by the user you have to manually update the drive database: a) Replace '/var/db/smartmontools/drivedb.h' by the database shipped with this release which can be found in '/usr/share/smartmontools/drivedb.h', i.e. cp "/usr/share/smartmontools/drivedb.h" "/var/db/smartmontools" b) Run the following command as root: /usr/sbin/update-smart-drivedb However, 'update-smart-drivedb' requires that you re-emerge smartmontools with USE='update_drivedb'. I think most people will need to follow that steps and run update-smart-drivedb, hence, I think the USE should be enabled by default Thanks
Any news on this? Thanks
+1 vote for update-smart-drivedb by default. What do we save by not installing it by default? The script is 15KB in size. Is it really that big of a deal to just install it and omit the use-flag overkill?
