Please add support for ADATA SX8200PNP NVMe drive. What actions are required from me to implement this request?

I think the service file for smartmontools could be improved:

• Add a reference to the documentation in the [Unit] section, e.g.:

Documentation=man:smartd(8) man:smartd.conf(5)

• The 'EnvironmentFile=-/usr/local/etc/sysconfig/smartmontools' line should not be in the unit file, as that contains only three configuration options, two of which (enable_smart, start_smartd) are completely ignored by the service file and the third (smartd_opts) is only for additional command line options, that should better be changed in the service file itself.

The second point has already been requested in ticket 194, but was not implemented. I think having the 'EnvironmentFile=' line in the service file is more confusing than helpful, so please consider removing it.

(Issue (1) described bellow may not apply to upstream smartmontools, as /etc/smartmontools/run.d/10mail seems to be a Debian-specific file... but at least issue (2) should apply to upstream smartmontools as well.)

Hi.

I've stumbled over the following issues in smartd:

At first I had bascally the following smartd.conf:

DEVICESCAN -d auto -d removable -n standby,4 -a -m root,mylocaluser,my@email.com -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner

In order to test it, I've added -M test.

Now on restart, only root got mail, and the postfix logs didn't even show any tries for mylocaluser and my@….

I've added -M once, as I assumed the support for comma-separated multiple addresses as explained in the smartd.conf manpage for -m, may just not work with -M-exec-invoked /etc/smartmontools/run.d/10mail but only with -M once, -M daily or -M diminishing (and that this might be some other mail sender than /etc/smartmontools/run.d/10mail - which it actually seems to be).

Interestingly, it still didn't work. Only if I removed -M exec... I got mail sent to all three recipients.

So I think there are two issues here: 1) /etc/smartmontools/run.d/10mail, which seems to be used per default by debian (as there is no -M once or so) should support multiple addresses in -m. It's likely not obvious to the user that there are two methods of sending warning mails, and it should just work as one would naively assume by reading the documentation of -m.

2) In contrast to what the manpage claims, it seems that if -M exec is in place, -M once/etc. are not executed as well.

IMO both are severity=important, as they may prevent information about failing drives being passed on.

Cheers, Chris.
