Smartd.service loaded failed failed

Why smartd.service is failed?
systemctl reports the following:

UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB JOB DESCRIPTION

smartd.service loaded failed failed Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology (SMART) Daemon`

What could be the problem?

Does your harddrive support s.m.a.r.t?

You must have installed the smart software - it is not installed by default in OSMC.

And unless you have a physical spinning disk it will be of no use to you, it won’t work with an SD card.

How to install the smart software?

apt-get install smartmontools

fyi you can check systemd logs on why smart fails when loading.
