I have this default entry (from the author of that file) in smartd.conf and enabled it on many machines over the years. Is it a bad practice? # First (primary) ATA/IDE hard disk. Monitor all attributes, enable # automatic online data collection, automatic Attribute autosave, and # start a short self-test every day between 2-3am, and a long self test # Saturdays between 3-4am. /dev/hda -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03) Thanks for all your feedback _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
