Howdy, |

I did a KDE update so I switched to boot runlevel and back to default. |
| 4 |
I noticed that a service didn't start and it was smartd. Not exactly |
| 5 |
critical but it does monitor my hard drives. When I try to restart it, |
| 6 |
I get this using the -v option. |

root@fireball / # /etc/init.d/smartd start -v |

I've tried re-emerging the smartmontools package, I've tried the zap |
| 24 |
option as well, in case my recent power supply blow up left some cruft |
| 25 |
behind. I also googled but can't find this problem. It seems tho that |
| 26 |
the pid file should maybe be in /var instead of /run. I'm not sure if |
| 27 |
it was moved recently or what. |

Anyone know how to fix this? Or run into this before? |
