Package: smartmontools Version: 6.5+svn4324-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Please improve smartd.service to wait for smartd to initialise: [Service] Type=forking EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/smartmontools ExecStart=/usr/sbin/smartd $smartd_opts Forking to the background (Type=forking) is the recommended way to signal to systemd that a daemon has initialised successfully and is ready for operation; at least for daemons without explicit systemd support (Type=notify). In this particular case, "systemd restart smartd" will give immediate feedback of a failure if the user makes a mistake in /etc/smartd.conf. Regards, Peter
