Hi, My smartd.conf only has the line: DEVICESCAN With no directives explicitly specified. The docs say this means the '-a' directive will be passed to all disks detected by DEVICESCAN. What are the default settings for offline testing? Will smartd perform regular offline (immediate?) tests if "-o on" isn't specified? I'm actually a bit confused as to what checks smartd performs if you don't specify anything. What are the default settings for attribute autosave? Will attribute values be saved to NV memory if "-S on" isn't specified? I see attribute values change even though I haven't explicitly specified "-S" (but maybe that's because that flag just happens to be set on the disk?)
