Package: smartmontools Version: 5.37-5 Severity: normal smartd ist starting normal. When the check intervall comes or is forced via USR1 it fails. I can check the disks witch smartctl without any error. This error did not happen with kernel 2.6.17. Maybe its an incompatibility with this kernel version?
