I got a notice of drive health change which I tracked down in the syslog to single degree increase
in temperature.  That's a little too paranoid for me.  I'd like to be able to skip single degree
temperature (there's that much variation depending on load and ambient temperature changes and in
fact today in Ontario it was probably the change in ambient temperature that did it.

Odd, I've never had a single degree increase in temperature. I see a lot of
these in my syslog, but I've never received any notifications over
smart-notifier for this.

smart-notifier is a pretty dumb tool -- it just conveys any notifications that
smartd calls /etc/smartmontools/run.d/60smart-notifier with (which are
incidentally also mailed to you if you configured it so), so there is quite
likely a configuration for smartd.conf for this, and it's quite likely that you
passed a temperature threshold, in which case, smartd would be right in
notifying you about this.
