http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1207461 Bug ID: 1207461 Summary: Changing SMARTD_SAVESTATES and/or SMARTD_ATTRLOG to "no" in /etc/sysconfig/smartmontools causes smartd.service to fail. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: hans@schwimmbeck.de QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- After changing SMARTD_SAVESTATES and/or SMARTD_ATTRLOG to "no" /usr/lib/smartmontools/generate_smartd_opts writes a new file /var/lib/smartmontools/smartd_opts. The value of smartd_opts in this file is appended to the smartd command by ------------- EnvironmentFile=-/var/lib/smartmontools/smartd_opts ExecStart=/usr/sbin/smartd -n $smartd_opts ------------- in smartd.service. In /usr/lib/smartmontools/generate_smartd_opts the corresponding parts are ------------- if test "$SMARTD_SAVESTATES" = "no" ; then smartd_opts="$smartd_opts -s \"\"" fi ------------- and ------------- if test "$SMARTD_ATTRLOG" = "no" ; then smartd_opts="$smartd_opts -A \"\"" fi ------------- which generate no valid command line option for smartd in /var/lib/smartmontools/smartd_opts. The result is smartd.service failing to start. I tested with the following changes: ------------- if test "$SMARTD_SAVESTATES" = "no" ; then smartd_opts="$smartd_opts -s -" fi ------------- and ------------- if test "$SMARTD_ATTRLOG" = "no" ; then smartd_opts="$smartd_opts -A -" fi ------------- which generate the valid command line options "-s -" and/or "-A -". smartd.service starts and the corresponding logging is disabled. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
