Dear Guido,
I don't like this idea for the generic case -- for example Win32 systems
might not have man pages. So if you want this for the Debian version, I
suggest that you just modify /etc/smartd.conf by using a sed script that
deletes all lines that are comments:

Sorry Guido, I just saw this. I suggest that you just make a custom

You must take care to distinguish between the command line arguments to
smartd (such as -h or --help) and the Directives that appear in the

Are you mixing up these two different things?

I don't know what's wrong. But examine your default syslog.conf file to be
sure that it's not configured to send messages from ALL the logging

My uderstanding from Adam Radford (author of the 3w- and 3w-9xxx
drivers for 3ware/AMCC cards) is that at some point he would eliminate
ATA passthru support from the /dev/sd* devices. This may be why the
character device interface still works but the /dev/sd* interface does
not.

This is a debian only issue. We have a variable that allows to run:
