However, when using your own configuration file (instead of /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf), via smartd_flags="--configfile=/some/place/smartd.conf" ...the following warning is output and smartd does not start: # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/smartd.sh start /usr/local/etc/rc.d/smartd.sh: WARNING: /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf is not readable. This is due to the required_files="/usr/local/etc/smartd.conf" line in smartd.sh. >How-To-Repeat: Set smartd_flags="/some/other/smartd.conf" in rc.conf. Attempt to start smartd via smartd.sh start. >Fix: I've two solutions for this (the latter being recommended); 1. Remove the 'required_files' directive from smartd.sh. My assumption is that if smartd can't find a config file, it'll abort. This is an assumption on my part though. If this is the case, 'required_files' seems superfluous. 2. Add a 'smartd_config' variable to smartd.sh. Set required_files to the value of that, which allows people to use their own configuration file via smartd_config="/some/place/smartd.conf" I think this would be a better solution in the long-run. If the port maintainer does not want/cannot do the work for this, I can submit a patch if asked. I'm being lazy right now. :-) Let me know. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
