Package: smartmontools Version: 5.38-2+lenny1 Severity: normal The default smartd configuration misses the `-n standby' option. This is particulary hazardous to disks, which have hdparm -S option specified. Resulting behaviour is spinning the disk up, which is in standby state every 30 minutes (by default) to get smart data. I guess this may damage the drive, or shorten its life.
