last night I checked the log messages on the server Dell PE2950 6xSAS 146G I found the smartd running , I did not request such daemon
[root@PowerEdge1 pons]# tail -f /var/log/messages Aug 25 08:27:30 PowerEdge1 smartd[8039]: Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Aug 25 08:27:30 PowerEdge1 smartd[8039]: Opened configuration file /etc/smartd.conf Aug 25 08:27:30 PowerEdge1 smartd[8039]: Configuration file /etc/smartd.conf parsed.

You can disable it with chkconfig or through the GUI "services" menu.
do i really need it on my system
It depends on your requirements. Read up a bit on what it does and make your own decision from there.

well, if you configure your disks to enable SMART, it can provide advance disk failure information. if the disks are on hardware PERC raid, then you probably cant use SMART, and instead would use whatever RAID controller monitoring software dell provides...
otherwise,, um, like any service,...
# chkconfig smartd off # service smartd stop
will disable it from running on the next boot, and stop it now.
since am using Harware RAID controller, am gonna disable it... and use the monitoring tools of dell
Thanks
