I'm curious, how is this done? I don't see anything in smartd.conf nor any cronjob. I don't recall receiving any reports either.
look into the contents of /var/lib/smartmontools/ for config: /etc/smartd.conf and look for the default values in "man 5 smartd.conf" The logs are there, just not pressed upon the users.
However, automatic testing is all very well, but unless someone reads the reports sent by email, they're worthless. I know it is up to the user, but unless he/she is aware, automatic testing has zero value. I suspect the vast majority of emails sent to root@localhost are never read.
I'm using wall for the failure warnings, and logging for anything beyond info. But, that is my private addenum since my last HDD crash in 2013. - Yamaban. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
