Hi All,

I don't know enough about when errors are *really* errors. So I google a lot to read and learn.

I have a few things in my Logwatch that I want to make sure I understand

1. smartd

**Unmatched Entries** Problem creating device name scan list Device /dev/sda: using '-d sat' for ATA disk behind SAT layer. Device /dev/sdb: using '-d sat' for ATA disk behind SAT layer. Device: /dev/sdc, NO MEDIUM present; skip device Device: /dev/sdd, NO MEDIUM present; skip device Device: /dev/sde, NO MEDIUM present; skip device Device: /dev/sdf, NO MEDIUM present; skip device

I googled and since I know the devices I have I can comment out #DEVICESCAN -H -m root

and replace with:

/dev/sda -a -d sat -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner /dev/sdb -a -d sat -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner

2. kernel

WARNING: Kernel Errors Present amd64_edac: probe of 0000:00:18.2 failed with error -22 ...: 1 Time(s)

I googled this and I only had 5 hits that I could not make sense of. Can anyone shed some light?

3. automount

**Unmatched Entries** lookup_read_master: lookup(nisplus): couldn't locate nis+ table auto.master: 1 Time(s)

This seems to be a new issue in 5 but not 4. Our nis domain controller is running centos 4, which does not include that in the map.

On side note, we noticed this issue while trying to get samba %N to work.

I googled and this seems to be a RHEL bug?

Can anyone confirm and explain?
