The drmraid RPM is installed. How do I know if it's being used or not? Even if I'm not using RAID (SW or HW), can this package cause a problem? On a possibly related note, the smartd service is the only one that fails to start properly. Could this be an indication of a problem?
Smartd doesn't work on many SATA drives ... the libata was written for pata, and it sometimes causes issues.
If you are not using RAID, you can remove the dmraid package. Yes, sometimes it can cause issues even if you are not using RAID.
