Yes, that's all that it is. smartd must be configured to send that message, but once it is, every time it is restarted it will send it. I would investigate why it is restarting twice a day.
Thanks for replying Jon, Evidently there was a bug in smartmontools which has been recently fixed. I did the upgrade tonight and we will see what happens. The url for the fix is here: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=157750 This was brought to my attention by a member of the SLUG list. (Suncoast Linux Users Group - Florida ) I mention this in case other people might have run up against this strange behavior.

Hello SuSE people,
Have the smartd daemon running to check my Linux drive, Don't understand what it is telling me. As per: -------------------------------------------------------------- This email was generated by the smartd daemon running on:
host name: EasyStreet DNS domain: [Unknown] NIS domain:
The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:
TEST EMAIL from smartd for device: /dev/hdb
For details see host's SYSLOG (default: /var/log/messages). ----------------------------------------------------------- Don't have any messages in /var/log/messages, (nor a SYSLOG ) from smartd and don't understand what it is telling me. Is it just telling me it is sending a test e-mail ?? I get that message twice a day, about 3 minutes apart. Could that just be start & stop?
