The terminal trace shows that NVSD is exiting because it's logd process is failing to write to the logs database.
The NVSD Logs database is comprised of the following file: /usr/smartdisk/foundation/var/logd.log
As operations and transactions occur, the logd daemon creates and stores log messages in this internal SQLITE3 database.
However here, INSERTS to the log database are not possible, while the content can still be queried using the 'smartdisk.sh logs command.
Since updating the logd database is required to maintain NVSD started, Smartdisk stops running.
Investigations showed the disk hosting the logs database had suffered an I/O problem and went read only, causing the log database to become 'malformed'.
To allow SmartDisk to start, perform the following:
* Ensure that all SmartDisk processes are stopped (e.g. ps -fu <smartdisk_user>).
* Rename or move the current logd.log database file (/usr/smartdisk/foundation/var/logd.log).
* Restart SmartDisk.
* SmartDisk should create a new logd database and remain running.
Note: Log history from installation to the failure will be lost, but future logging will be possible.
