Smartd is not that smart - it has known issues with SATA drives, as I have posted on in this group recently. I ran smartctl and Seatool (from Seagate, since mine is a Seagate drive) tests on it and had no problems. Of course, my WD and Hitachi SATA drives don't do this, so maybe it is peculiar to Seagates.... mhr _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
