Topic

An updated smartmontools package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The smartmontools package contains two utilities, smartctl and smartd, that
enable the controlling and monitoring of Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting
Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.) enabled storage systems. These utilities provide
advanced warning of disk degradation and failure.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, when a system event relevant to smartd happened, the

following spurious error message was output if no mail address was configured:

"smartd: internal error in MailWarning(): cfg.mailwarn->emailfreq=0"

This unintended behavior has been fixed in this update so that the spurious
error message is no longer displayed. (BZ#697867)

All smartmontools users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
fixes this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
