Comment(by snaury@…):

 I'm not sure what it was supposed to fix. I've just upgraded
 smartmontools, started smartd (it was previously disabled because of
 frequent freezes), and after some time (something around 30 minutes, just
 when smartd was expected to check SMART) my laptop (2008 13" aluminium
 macbook) froze. The log contains this line:

 {{{ 31/07/2009 22:29:07 smartd[87288] Device:
 IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0 at 0/AppleACPIPCI/SATA at B/AppleMCP79AHCI/PRT0 at 0/IOAHCIDevice at 0/AppleAHCIDiskDriver/IOAHCIBlockStorageDevice,
 failed to read SMART Attribute Data }}}

 And sure enough, smartctl -a /dev/disk0 showed that SMART is disabled on
 my drive (even though 20 minutes earlier it was enabled). Could it be that
 the problem is not in the way smartd is started, but something that smartd
 tries to do to the drive? It seems strange to me that SMART disables
 itself on its own...

 Also, I specifically checked with kill -usr1 and hangs didn't happen. Why
 do they happen only when smartd is kicking in on 30 minutes timer?
