Install smartmontools by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--with-initscriptdir=no \
--with-libsystemd=no \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/smartmontools-7.3 &&
makeThis package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install
--with-initscriptdir=no: This switch suppresses
the default initialization script. See below for the BLFS script.
--with-libsystemd=no: This switch disables support
for the sd-notify notification system provided by systemd.
See the embedded comments in /etc/smartd.conf
for detailed instructions on customizing the
smartd daemon.
If you want the smartd daemon to
start automatically when the system is booted, install the
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smartd init script included
in the blfs-bootscripts-20230101 package.
make install-smartd
