I am running 5.5 in 5 new boxes suddenly the boxes would start randomly rebooting. Checking the logs point out to smartd in all the boxes. I should all of them out except one. In that one I disable and shutdown smartd and the machine has been running ok for 5 hours, could smartd causing init 6 calls, if so, why isn't syslogd catching those calls. All that pointed to smartd was the last call before reboot. You can see my post at <br><br><a href="https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=29777&start=0#forumpost123773">https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=29777&start=0#forumpost123773</a><br><br>For now I am leaving smartd off and will monitor if it keep rebooting, 5 hours have passed and things are still running. I will report back in the thread when the 24 hour mark ticks. I got the feeling that smartd is being evil to us.<br><br>>>> Jason S-M <slackmoehrle.lists@gmail.com> 01/07/11 11:25 AM >>><br>Hi All,<br><br>I don't know enough about when errors are *really* errors.
