Hi,
I've got smartd going on a gmirror system, however when smartd starts up
it says it can't find the various drives. I've tried both the autodetection
line as well as specifying the individual drives. If this does work i'd like
to know about it as i believe i might have one failing drive, but am not
sure which one.
Thanks.
Dave.
