Synopsis
smartmontools bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated smartmontools package that fixes various bugs is now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The smartmontools package contains two utility programs, smartctl and smartd,
that enable the controlling and monitoring of Self-Monitoring, Analysis and
Reporting Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.)-enabled storage systems. These
utilities provide advanced warning of disk degradation and failure.
This updated smartmontools package includes fixes for the following bugs:
- The smartctl man page did not contain sufficient information about the CCISS
(Compaq Smart Array) controller options. This man page section has been extended
and provides more information and examples. (BZ#632423)
- In some cases, the smartmontools utilities passed to SCSI "ioctl" function
certain values that the MegaRAID controller could not handle and S.M.A.R.T.
self-tests on MegaRAID devices caused kernel errors and smartctl terminated
unexpectedly. Such values are no longer passed to the MegaRAID controller and
the bug is fixed. (BZ#653434)
All smartmontools users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
