Why is this happening twice daily? Here is my configuration: # Monitor all attributes, enable automatic offline data collection, # automatic Attribute autosave, and start a short self-test every # weekday between 2-3am, and a long self test Saturdays between 3-4am. # Ignore attribute 194 temperature change. # Ignore attribute 190 airflow temperature change. # On failure run all installed scripts. /dev/sda -a -o on -S on -s (S/../../[1-5]/03|L/../../6/03) -I 194 -I 190 -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner /dev/sdb -a -o on -S on -s (S/../../[1-5]/03|L/../../6/03) -I 194 -I 190 -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner I can see no reason for the reported failures. Thanks for maintaining smartd!
