Hi all.

Firstly, thx for this great software contribuition. I'm having problems with experimental email sender feature of Windows version (PowerShell?). How this really works?

Well....We have bin folder structure script/conf files:

smartd.conf

smartd_mailer.conf.sample.ps1 smartd_mailer.ps1 smartd_warning.cmd

According wiki (​https://www.smartmontools.org/browser/trunk/smartmontools/smartd.conf.5.in) and my understanding, first we need to create/manage directives to determine actions. Ex: Generate Logs by bad blocks, bad life hard disk and send mail...

I'm using Windows 10 release 1803 x64 and version 6.6.207-11-05 r4594 (sf-6.6.1) My problem, is now...

1. What hierarchy of setting up files? Who file come's first, who depend who, who call who? Basically: smartd.conf => smartd_warning.cmd => defines what mail sender => smartd_mailer.ps1 => read SMTP data => smartd_mailer.conf.sample.ps1 Is that correct?

2. smartd.conf call smartd_warning.cmd with -M exec? But, in the wiki says:

If the file EXEDIR/smartd_mailer.conf.ps1 is present and '-M exec' is not specified, the script smartd_mailer.ps1 is used instead. This script uses the Send-MailMessage? cmdlet to send mail. See EXEDIR/smartd_mailer.conf.sample.ps1 for info about the format of the configuration file.

3. smartd_warning.cmd verify what's and call default mailer.

if smartd_mailer.ps1 exists, AND -M exec directive not specified, automatically will use PowerShell? method, right?

4. About script smartd_warning.cmd, When I run, he everytime say: "smartd_warning.cmd: SMARTD_ADDRESS or SMARTD_MAILER must be set"

How I can set these variables? I just tried uncomenting echo, and increment values to specified vars.

5. How I can test if a mail is working correctly? I trying but no success. Using -M test not working.

Thx.

Hi,

I'm forwarding a bug reported by a Debian user. Version: smartctl 5.39 2009-12-09 r2995 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] (local build)

Smartd logs internal error along with the notification of a failing hard disk.

From /var/log/syslog

-8<- Jan 12 13:42:11 hanuri smartd[9147]: Device: /dev/sdc, 5 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors Jan 12 13:42:11 hanuri smartd[9147]: internal error in MailWarning?(): cfg.mailwarn->emailfreq=0 -8<-

/etc/smartd.conf has: -8<- /dev/sda -d ata -I 194 -I 190 /dev/sdb -d ata -I 194 -I 190 /dev/sdc -d ata -I 194 -I 190 /dev/sdd -d ata -I 194 -I 190 /dev/sde -d ata -I 194 -I 190 /dev/sdf -d ata -I 194 -I 190 -8<-

Instead of SMART HEALTH "OK" smartd shows Device: /dev/sdb, non-SMART asc,ascq: 4,9 in the logs if test is running. smartcl -H /dev/sdb shows that smart status if fine.
