View Single Post - does smartd monitor SATA drives?

Doctor Feelgood · Administrator

I know I asked Blue|Fusion a question like this regarding the server, but that was a while ago... And it was for the server. Now I have a regularly used machine at home with CentOS and SATA drives... Every boot up / shut down I see "smartd failed".

I know they didn't support SATA drives, but thought they might now. Any idea?

Also... Would it hurt to just turn smartd off?

Thanks!
