Package: smartmontools
Version: 7.2-1
The "default_never-quit.patch" changes the default of the 'smartd -q'
option from '-q nodev' to '-q never'. It should be at least mentioned on
the man page that this change is Debian (and possibly Ubuntu) specific.
The change of the default is not required as the following setting in
the service file has the same effect:
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/smartd -n -q never $smartd_opts
The '-q' option could then still be overridden via $smartd_opts.
Note that the new 7.3 version of smartmontools adds `-q *nodev0*` option
variants which change the 'no devices' exit code from 17 to 0. The
service should be no longer reported as failed then. "No devices to
monitor" is reported via sd_notify() if configured.
