#19464: smartmontools: uses StartupItems which is deprecated ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: cilly@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: | Port: smartmontools ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by fluffyarmada@…): I'd also like to mention, that besides the issue of using a deprecated method to start the daemon, I'm also having issues caused by the daemon once it actually starts. Not sure if I should open a separate bug or not. But it looks like smartd is trying to run *often* and failing... here's the output from smartctl -a /dev/disk0 and the output from Console.app... {{{ fluffbook:~ root# smartctl -a /dev/disk0 smartctl version 5.38 [i386-apple-darwin9.7.0] Copyright (C) 2002-8 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Device Model: ST9500325AS Serial Number: 5VE0PAXB Firmware Version: 0001SDM1 User Capacity: 500,107,862,016 bytes Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall] ATA Version is: 8 ATA Standard is: ATA-8-ACS revision 4 Local Time is: Sat Jul 25 22:12:04 2009 CDT SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.
