I've got an off-site backup server (Takao, see my signature for hardware) where being in a small case is much more important than drive temperatures. It spins the drives up once or twice per day, and they get up to about 53° C for a few minutes, then drop to ambient temperatures for the rest of the day. The drives are fairly old compared to my other server so this doesn't seem to affect longevity.

In any case, I have set the temperature alerts to 55 informational, 60 critical, and 50 differential in the SMART service configuration, but /etc/smartd.conf still is filled with lines like:

Code:
/dev/sda -a -d removable -n never -W 5,45,50 -m root -M exec /u
sr/local/libexec/smart_alert.py\
-s L/../../(7)/(00)\


And I get a daily e-mail about it. Well, until I disabled the SMART service, but I'd really like to keep that running. Is there any way to do that? This is on SCALE.

I'd recommend you report a bug.
