I see: 
# grep umass /var/log/messages

To my eye those seem to be boot messages, not errors encounterd while
running.

I have seen references to umass on other machines that do look like
running errors but they seem to clear on retry.

Pelorus is still doing a catch-up buildworld, once it finishes I'll
try to get smartmontools installed.


Thanks for writing!
