Well, unless that's different than noted behavior before there were problems, that doesn't really indicate a bad drive any more than a drive/driver that doesn't support smartd. Smartd doesn't work on most sata drives with the sata driver included in the stock CentOS kernel. When I have seen smartd working, it starts fine but puts messages in the logs about drive problems when there are actual problems. -- - Kevan Benson - A-1 Networks
