I am using smartd to monitor my disks in Ubuntu and have it configured to run a short scan daily at 2am and a long test 3am every Saturday morning:
/dev/sda -a -n standby -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03) -m name@mail.com
I understand that smartd periodically polls the disks (every 30mins?) causing them to wakeup if in stand by, hence I have added the -n standby
flag in the above config. However, this also stops the scheduled scans from running if the disk is in standby.
Is there a way to force the scheduled scans to start at the given times and wake the disks if needed, but stop the periodic polling form waking the disks ?
