Something on your system is issuing S.M.A.R.T. commands from userspace
to the drive, and the drive either (1) doesn't support S.M.A.R.T.,
or (2) currently does not have S.M.A.R.T. enabled (smartctl -s on /dev/hda).

The "smartmontools" package is what normally issues these commands.


Yep, you are right. I did disable the smartd service. I am used to
SMARTing always (always work with high-end disks.). Now no issues,
thanks.
