I had a drive failing on a server. I've replaced it. The old drive was /dev/sdb; the new one's /dev/sdd. The manpage and googling are failing me- anyone know how to tell smartd to stop trying to read /dev/sdb (which I've pulled, and is sitting here on my desk)? I don't need the garbage in the logs, and no, I can't just reboot the server, since it's a home directory server....
Following myself up, I just tried a simple service smartd restart, and I'll see if that worked. But if anyone's got other ideas - I do *not* want to have this last after a reboot, though, because I assume sdx will change.
Based on your comments about drive naming (sdX) ... you're using software RAID.
Nope. No RAID involved, just /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc.
I've never had problems with smartd keeping a hold on a drive ... anyways
Restarting the smartd service seems to have cured it - it was complaining every half hour, and hasn't since the last one before I did the service restart. <snip> I assume it knew what drives were supposed to be there, and it was all in memory.
