Yohoo!
I have some issues with the smartd in CentOS5/x64
I edited the /etc/smartd.conf for my needs and restarted the smartd with
"service smartd restart". But the start script is overriding my file. I
checked it and saw the following lines:
---------------/etc/init.d/smartd------------
case "$1" in
start | reload | restart)
GEN_CONF="*SMARTD*AUTOGENERATED*"
[ ! -f /etc/smartd.conf ] || read DUMMY GEN_CONF DUMMY </etc/smartd.conf \
&& [ "$GEN_CONF" == "*SMARTD*AUTOGENERATED*" ] \
&& smartd-conf.py 2>/dev/null >/etc/smartd.conf.new-autogenerated \
&& mv -f /etc/smartd.conf.new-autogenerated /etc/smartd.conf
;;
esac
---------------/etc/init.d/smartd------------
So how can I prevent my file beeeing overriden without editing this script
(which will probably get lots the next update)?
------/etc/sysctl/smartmontools---------
# command line options for smartd
smartd_opts="-q never"
----------------------------------------
Any ideas?
