This suggests that the first device checks last longer than the systemd setting DefaultTimeoutStartSec=90s. The current version of smartd notifies READY=1 only after the first checks are completed. In traditional daemon mode (no -n option and no NOTIFY_SOCKET) it would fork() then. Please try this in smartmontools.service file: ... [Service] Type=notify +TimeoutStartSec=300s ... To find a reasonable TimeoutStartSec value and see which device checks last very long, use for example: # time /usr/sbin/smartd -q onecheck Christian Franke smartmontools.org -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1888009 Title: smartmontools.service: start operation timed out.
