(Of course I can't use resume until a skge wol bug is fixed so I won't see/test this unless asked too.) The smart init scripts run '-s on' when the system boots anyway for my system - this problem only occurs for me during suspend/resume. Maybe smartd should detect that as Alan says. Please let me know if there's anything else you need. David
