Hi,
I have one disk that is giving me problems with the smartd daemon. I get this in the log:

It intermitently but periodically fail to read atributes, triggering hundreds of emails sent to me to warn of the problem:

You can also use the smartctl utility for further investigation. Another message will be sent in 24 hours if the problem persists. - ------------++-
The disk is indeed smart capable and it works fine, as long as I call smartctl with "-d sat,16", which I do:

smartmon is "sensitive" to some disks.... Not so much others.
something is running it periodically in default mode, without the parameters you used to get it to read the disk properly.
I'd say cron, but with systemd in the mix who knows.

It is smartd daemon, and it sends an email to me on another machine. This is configured in smartd.conf:
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-WD_My_Book_25EE_32544B5354325344-0:0 -d sat,16 -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03) -m root@telcontar.valinor
No cron job or systemd job can do it, because they don't know the mail address of the second machine.
The sequence is this:
<3.6> 2018-10-21T21:15:24.879374+02:00 Isengard smartd 11255 - - Device: /dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0x5000c5009399305f [SAT], SMART Prefailure Attribute: 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate changed from 74 to 75
One disk working.
<3.6> 2018-10-21T21:15:31.890721+02:00 Isengard smartd 11255 - - Device: /dev/disk/by-id/usb-WD_My_Book_25EE_32544B5354325344-0:0 [SAT], not capable of SMART self-check
antoher disk, tested by smartd, says no smart self-check possible.

smartd (on server) sends email to the desktop machine.
<3.6> 2018-10-21T21:15:33.903519+02:00 Isengard smartd 11255 - - Warning via <mail> to root@telcontar.valinor: successful
Half an hour later smartd routinely logs temperature of problematic disk - thus it has no problem reading it:
<3.6> 2018-10-21T21:45:24.837650+02:00 Isengard smartd 11255 - - Device: /dev/disk/by-id/usb-WD_My_Book_25EE_32544B5354325344-0:0 [SAT], SMART Usage Attribute: 194 Temperature_Celsius changed from 144 to 147
repeats
<3.6> 2018-10-21T22:45:25.310794+02:00 Isengard smartd 11255 - - Device: /dev/disk/by-id/usb-WD_My_Book_25EE_32544B5354325344-0:0 [SAT], SMART Usage Attribute: 194 Temperature_Celsius changed from 147 to 144
Another sequence, earlier - smartd sends email:
<3.2> 2018-10-21T20:15:33.916416+02:00 Isengard smartd 11255 - - Device: /dev/disk/by-id/usb-WD_My_Book_25EE_32544B5354325344-0:0 [SAT], failed to read SMART Attribute Data <3.6> 2018-10-21T20:15:33.917008+02:00 Isengard smartd 11255 - - Sending warning via <mail> to root@telcontar.valinor ... <3.6> 2018-10-21T20:15:33.979416+02:00 Isengard smartd 11255 - - Warning via <mail> to root@telcontar.valinor: successful
and the next thing is half an hour later:
<3.6> 2018-10-21T20:45:24.602691+02:00 Isengard smartd 11255 - - Device: /dev/disk/by-id/usb-WD_My_Book_25EE_32544B5354325344-0:0 [SAT], read SMART Attribute Data worked again, warning condition reset after 1 email
It is always smartd who talks. I see no messages from systemd; and anyway, systemd doesn't know the mail address.

That version is a bit old, from July 2017. You have a newer version?

Yes, I got it from "home:plater" repo (which now has disappeared). There are other home repos, but they also have 6.6. Even TW has 6.6 (or did yesterday night when I searched).

Sounds like 42.3 could do with an update of smartmonutils, but your version should be fine.
Wild guess - have you tried with '-d sat' or '-d sat,auto' ?

But I have an issue.

I use "-d sat,16", but either if fails randomly or the daemon is doing it sometimes without that parameter.
--health works with auto, but smartd complains. See log:

The disk is indeed smart capable and it works fine, as long as I call smartctl with "-d sat,16", which I do:

What else am I missing? Is smartd not using "-d sat,16" somewhere else? Is it some other problem?
I just saw a reply from Christian Franke on the smartmontools mail list, to somebody with the same problem and same disk:

It works :-)
