| Jan 2, 2023 at 19:44 | comment | added | Daniel B | If smartd is no longer sending mails because a drive is in use, that's a problem. The e-mails should be sent regardless. // If you want smartd to ignore the device, why not just configure it as such? | |
| Jan 2, 2023 at 19:36 | comment | added | Eric Marceau | @Tom Yan, I rarely use the sdb drive. I only use it to install new distros for testing either the distro or the applications. I don't rely on it for home "production" usage. If I were to power down the drive (i.e. udisksctl power-off -b ${BlockDevice} ), that would stop the scans, but being internal, I can only perform ... hdparm --verbose -S 1 ${BlockDevice} ... which seems to be overriden by the OS and SMART. | |

You should probably check your /etc/smartd.conf (and read the man page about it). But the thing is, do you really want to just ignore the fact that your drive might be dying?

Added syslog entries. Added fstab entry for swap partition.

| Jan 2, 2023 at 18:54 | comment | added | Eric Marceau | I don't understand what you are trying to tell me. The email makes reference to the drive (/dev/sdb, not a partition) but when I mount the partitions, SMART stops generating the emails. So ... while it is referencing the drive, it is responding to a partition-related condition. | |

| Jan 2, 2023 at 18:39 | comment | added | Eric Marceau | Updated as requested. Thank you for looking at this. | |
