I am getting messages on many machines running smartd in syslog saying smartd[22921]: Warning! SMART ATA Error Log Structure error: invalid SMART checksum. Looking through the doc, smartctl has an option (-bignore) to turn this check off. However, I could not find a way to tell smartd to ignore it. Is this possible ? Some admins get concerned because the message appears to be a serious problem.
