In a system with a lot of drives, having this information recorded can assist in knowing which drive device (i.e., /dev/sda) corresponds with which physical drive. With the -i option, you can view the type of drive, its serial number, and so forth. Obtaining information on the drive is useful as well. You can quickly check the overall health of a drive by using: # smartctl -H /dev/sda smartctl version 5.38 Copyright (C) 2002-8 Bruce Allen Home page is = START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION = SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED The smartctl program also allows for you to view and test SMART attributes of a drive. On a Red Hat Enterprise Linux system, use: # chkconfig smartd on # service smartd start When smartd is configured, make sure to enable the monitoring daemon if it is not already started. There are a number of other options that can be added as well the nf file has examples of these.
It also tells smartd that these are ATA devices. The above tells smartd to perform a very silent check and to email the root user if the overall SMART health status fails. To begin, edit /etc/nf and add entries for your drives: /dev/sda -d ata -H -m root /dev/sdb -d ata -H -m root. Using smartd is essential as it can let you know immediately when a SMART attribute fails. This package also provides the smartd daemon which periodically polls the drives to obtain SMART information. This information is invaluable in providing early warning signs of problems with a hard drive.Īll Linux distributions provide the smartmontools package, which contain the smartctl program used to display SMART information from attached drives.
Vincent Danen has some tips for using the smartmontools package to obtain important information about the health of your hard drives that could provide early warning signs of problems.Ĭomputer hard drives today come with SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) built-in, which allows you to see the status or overall “health” of a hard drive.
