I just did a=20 # smartctl --device=3Data --smart=3Don --offlineauto=3Doff --saveauto=3Don = -T permissive /dev/sdb and this is what I got: smartctl version 5.36 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-6 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ =3D=3D=3D START OF ENABLE/DISABLE COMMANDS SECTION =3D=3D=3D SMART Enabled. Error SMART Enable Auto-save failed: Input/output error Smartctl: SMART Enable Attribute Autosave Failed. SMART Automatic Offline Testing Disabled. The funny thing is that I enabled smart on the drives themselves through some vendor utility, so IMHO this should not be necessary. I'll try to add the smartctl calls to init scripts and see what I can find. Thanks a lot!
