+=== I found in syslog: 'Can't locate module block-major-65' ===
+
+When I run {{{smartd}}}, the SYSLOG {{{/var/log/messages}}}
+contains messages like this:
+{{{
+smartd: Reading Device /dev/sdv 
+modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-65
+}}}
+
+This is because when {{{smartd}}} starts, if there is no
+configuration file, it looks for all ATA and SCSI devices to monitor
+(matching the pattern {{{/dev/hd[a-t]}}} or
+{{{/dev/sd[a-z]}}}). The log messages appear because your
+system doesn't have most of these devices.
+
+The solution is simple: use the {{{smartd}}} configuration file
+{{{/etc/smartd.conf}}} to specify which devices to monitor.

+=== What's the story on IBM SMART disks? ===

+Apparently some of the older SMART firmware on IBM disks can
+interfere with the regular operation of the disk. If you have this
+problem, here are some links to an IBM Firmware Upgrade that fixes the problem:
