Hi,
I've noticed on our systems (9.0-Stable, amd64) that starting smartd at boot time massively extends the startup time of the box.
I think I've traced this down to smartd, and our use of the '-M test' config option (which sends a test message, apparently forking to 'mail' - and, as the config man page says - it will block until that command returns).
For whatever reason (networking not stable at that point in time, MTA not started yet etc.) - on our machines this leaves smartd handing around for minutes - before it returns, the machine starts up (and the status emails arrive).
Can anyone think of a 'simple' fix for this? - Is there anything I can do to '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/smartd' to make it run later in the startup process?
Does the dreaded '/etc/rc.local' still get run -after- everything else? (Worst case I could launch it from there).
Thanks, -Karl _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
