Hi jason, Thank you for pointing this out. I am running 5.5 in 5 new boxes suddenly the boxes would start randomly rebooting. Checking the logs point out to smartd in all the boxes. I should all of them out except one. In that one I disable and shutdown smartd and the machine has been running ok for 5 hours, could smartd causing init 6 calls, if so, why isn't syslogd catching those calls. All that pointed to smartd was the last call before reboot. You can see my post at https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=29777&start=0#forumpost123773 For now I am leaving smartd off and will monitor if it keep rebooting, 5 hours have passed and things are still running. I will report back in the thread when the 24 hour mark ticks. I got the feeling that smartd is being evil to us. >>> Jason S-M 01/07/11 11:25 AM >>> 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) I googled and this seems to be a RHEL bug? Can anyone confirm and explain? -Jason _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
