Re: SMART problems in 2.6.22

Hi Bruce
From some of the earlier threads that I missed (below) I have the
impression that the problem may be a very simple one, namely that starting with 2.6.22 one needs to run a command to enable SMART when a box is first booted -- the kernel no longer does this as part of the init/setup of the disks. But that is NOT consistent with the first two reports above, which show 'SMART ENABLED'.

Here are some of the earlier threads that I completely missed:

This is mine and although it's a 'real' problem, it is something that's easy to hack around by having the suspend script turn on smart after it is resumed. (Of course I can't use resume until a skge wol bug is fixed so I won't see/test this unless asked too.)

The smart init scripts run '-s on' when the system boots anyway for my system - this problem only occurs for me during suspend/resume. Maybe smartd should detect that as Alan says.

Please let me know if there's anything else you need.

David
