Package: smartmontools Version: 5.37-1 Severity: important I have a software RAID machine and one of the disks failed. This causes smartd to fail during start:
Starting S.M.A.R.T. daemon: smartd failed! smartd[14177]: Device: /dev/hdb, No such device, open() failed smartd[14177]: Unable to register ATA device /dev/hdb at line 104 of file /etc/smartd.conf smartd[14177]: Unable to register device /dev/hdb (no Directive -d removable). Exiting. I am perfectly aware that a missing disk is a problem, but shouldn't smartd better report the problem and keep trying? Or at least report and start for all the other disks?
