SMARTmontools controls and monitors storage devices using the
Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.)
built into ATA and SCSI Hard Drives. This is used to check the
reliability of the hard drive and to predict drive failures. The suite
is derived from the smartsuite package, and contains two utilities. The
first, smartctl, is a command line utility designed to perform simple
S.M.A.R.T. tasks. The second, smartd, is a daemon that periodically
monitors smart status and reports errors to syslog. The package is
compatible with the ATA/ATAPI-5 specification. Future releases will be
compatible with the ATA/ATAPI-6 andATA/ATAPI-7 specifications. The
package is intended to incorporate as much "vendor specific" and
"reserved" information as possible about disk drives. man smartctl and
man smartd will provide more information. This RPM file is compatible
with all RedHat releases back to at least 6.2 and should work OK on any
modern linux distribution. The most recent versions of this package and
additional information can be found at the URL:

%changelog
* Tue Jan 21 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
- [BA] Fixed bug in smartctl pointed out by Pierre Gentile.
-d scsi didn't work because tryata and tryscsi were
reversed -- now works on /devfs SCSI devices.
- [BA] Fixed bug in smartctl pointed out by Gregory Goddard
<ggoddard@ufl.edu>. Manual says that bit 6 of return
value turned on if errors found in smart error log. But
this wasn't implemented.
- [BA] Modified printing format for 9,minutes to read
Xh+Ym not X h + Y m, so that fields are fixed width.
- [BA] Added Attribute 240 "head flying hours"
* Sun Jan 12 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
- [BA] As requested, local time/date now printed by smartctl -i
* Thu Jan 9 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
- [PW] Added 'help' argument to -v for smartctl
- [PW] Added -D, --showdirectives option to smartd
* Sat Jan 4 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
- [DG] add '-l selftest' capability for SCSI devices (update smartctl.8)
- [BA] smartd,smartctl: added additional Attribute modification option
-v 220,temp and -v 9,temp.
- [PW] Renamed smartd option -X to -d
- [PW] Changed smartd.conf Directives -- see man page
- [BA/DG] Fixed uncommented comment in smartd.conf- [DG] Correct 'Recommended start stop count' for SCSI devices
- [PW] Replaced smartd.conf directive -C with smartd option -i
- [PW] Changed options for smartctl -- see man page.
- [BA] Use strerror() to generate system call error messages.
- [BA] smartd: fflush() all open streams before fork().
- [BA] smartctl, smartd simplified internal handling of checksums
for simpler porting and less code.
* Sun Dec 8 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
- [PW] smartd --debugmode changed to --debug
- [BA] smartd/smartctl added attribute 230 Head Amplitude from
IBM DPTA-353750.
- [PW] Added list of proposed new options for smartctl to README.
- [PW] smartd: ParseOpts() now uses getopt_long() if HAVE_GETOPT_LONG is
defined and uses getopt() otherwise. This is controlled by CPPFLAGS in
the Makefile.
- [BA] smartd: Fixed a couple of error messages done with perror()
to redirect them as needed.
- [BA] smartctl: The -O option to enable an Immediate off-line test
did not print out the correct time that the test would take to
complete. This is because the test timer is volatile and not
fixed. This has been fixed, and the smartctl.8 man page has been
updated to explain how to track the Immediate offline test as it
progresses, and to further emphasize the differences between the
off-line immediate test and the self-tests.
- [BA] smartd/smartctl: Added new attribute (200) Multi_Zone_Error_Rate
- [BA] smartctl: modified so that arguments could have either a single -
as in -ea or multiple ones as in -e -a. Improved warning message for
device not opened, and fixed error in redirection of error output of
HD identity command.
- [PW] smartd: added support for long options. All short options are still
supported; see manpage for available long options.
- [BA] smartctl. When raw Attribute value was 2^31 or larger, did
not print correctly.
* Fri Nov 22 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
- Allen: smartd: added smartd.conf Directives -T and -s. The -T Directive
enables/disables Automatic Offline Testing. The -s Directive
enables/disables Attribute Autosave. Documentation and
example configuration file updated to agree.
- Allen: smartd: user can make smartd check the disks at any time
(ie, interrupt sleep) by sending signal SIGUSR1 to smartd. This
can be done for example with:
kill -USR1 <pid>
where <pid> is the process ID number of smartd.
- Bolso: scsi: don't trust the data we receive from the drive too
much. It very well might have errors (like zero response length).
Seen on Megaraid logical drive, and verified in the driver source.
- Allen: smartd: added Directive -m for sending test email and
for modifying email reminder behavior. Updated manual, and sample
configuration file to illustrate & explain this.
- Allen: smartd: increased size of a continued smartd.conf line to
1023 characters.
- Allen: Simplified Directive parsers and improved warning/error
messages.
* Sun Nov 17 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
- Fixed bug in smartd where testunitready logic inverted
prevented functioning on scsi devices.
- Added testunitnotready to smartctl for symmetry with smartd.
- Brabec: added Czech descriptions to .spec file
- Brabec: corrected comment in smartd.conf example
- Changed way that entries in the ATA error log are printed,
to make it clearer which is the most recent error and
which is the oldest one.
- Changed Temperature_Centigrade to Temperature_Celsius.
The term "Centigrade" ceased to exist in 1948. (c.f
http://www.bartleby.com/64/C004/016.html).
* Wed Nov 13 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>- smartd SCSI devices: can now send warning email message on failure
- Added a new smartd configuration file Directive: -M ADDRESS.
This sends a single warning email to ADDRESS for failures or
errors detected with the -c, -L, -l, or -f Directives.
* Mon Nov 11 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
- Modified perror() statements in atacmds.c so that printout for SMART
commands errors is properly suppressed or queued depending upon users
choices for error reporting modes.
- Added Italian descriptions to smartmontools.spec file.
- Started impementing send-mail-on-error for smartd; not yet enabled.
* Sun Nov 10 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
- Added -P (Permissive) Directive to smartd.conf file to allow SMART monitoring of
pre-ATA-3 Rev 4 disks that have SMART but do not have a SMART capability bit.
* Thu Nov 7 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
- Added a Man section 5 page for smartd.conf
- Changed Makefile so that the -V option does not reflect file state
before commit!
- modified .spec file so that locale information now contains
character set definition. Changed pt_BR to pt since we do not use any
aspect other than language. See man setlocale.
- smartctl: added new options -W, -U, and -P to control if and how the
smartctl exits if an error is detected in either a SMART data
structure checksum, or a SMART command returns an error.
- modified manual page to break options into slightly more logical
categories.
- reformatted 'usage' message order to agree with man page ordering
* Mon Nov 4 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
- smartctl: added new options -n and -N to force device to be ATA or SCSI
- smartctl: no longer dies silently if device path does not start/dev/X
- smartctl: now handles arbitrary device paths
- Added additional macros for manual and sbin paths in this SPEC file.
- Modified Makefile to install /etc/smartd.conf, but without overwriting existing config file
- Modified this specfile to do the same, and to not remove any files that it did not install
* Thu Oct 30 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
- Fixed typesetting error in man page smartd.8
- Removed redundant variable (harmless) from smartd.c
* Wed Oct 29 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
- Added a new directive for the configuration file. If the word
DEVICESCAN appears before any non-commented material in the
configuration file, then the confi file will be ignored and the
devices wil be scanned.
- Note: it has now been confirmed that the code modifications between
5.0.23 and 5.0.24 have eliminated the GCC 3.2 problems. Note that
there is a GCC bug howerver, see #848 at
http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?database=gcc&cmd=query
- Added new Directive for Configuration file:
-C <N> This sets the time in between disk checks to be <N>
seconds apart. Note that although you can give
this Directive multiple times on different lines of
the configuration file, only the final value that
is given has an effect, and applies to all the
disks. The default value of <N> is 1800 sec, and
the minimum allowed value is ten seconds.
- Problem wasn't the print format. F.L.W. Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>
sent me a gcc 3.2 build and I ran it under a debugger. The
problem seems to be with passing the very large (2x512+4) byte
data structures as arguments. I never liked this anyway; it was
inherited from smartsuite. So I've changed all the heavyweight
functions (ATA ones, anyone) to just passing pointers, not hideous
kB size structures on the stack. Hopefully this will now build OK
under gcc 3.2 with any sensible compilation options.
- Because of reported problems with GCC 3.2 compile, I have gone
thorough the code and explicitly changed all print format
parameters to correspond EXACTLY to int unless they have to be promoted to long longs. To quote from the glibc bible: [From
GLIBC Manual: Since the prototype doesn't specify types for
optional arguments, in a call to a variadic function the default
argument promotions are performed on the optional argument
values. This means the objects of type char or short int (whether
signed or not) are promoted to either int or unsigned int, as
required.
- smartd, smartctl now warn if they find an attribute whose ID
number does not match between Data and Threshold structures.
- Fixed nasty bug which led to wrong number of arguments for a
varargs statement, with attendent stack corruption. Sheesh!
Have added script to CVS attic to help find such nasties in the
future.
* Tue Oct 29 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
- Eliminated some global variables out of header files and other
minor cleanup of smartd.
- Did some revision of the man page for smartd and made the usage
messages for Directives consistent.
- smartd: prints warning message when it gets SIGHUP, saying that it is
NOT re-reading the config file.
- smartctl: updated man page to say self-test commands -O,x,X,s,S,A
appear to be supported in the code. [I can't test these, can anyone
report?]
- smartctl: smartctl would previously print the LBA of a self-test
if it completed, and the LBA was not 0 or 0xff...f However
according to the specs this is not correct. According to the
specs, if the self-test completed without error then LBA is
undefined. This version fixes that. LBA value only printed if
self-test encountered an error.
- smartd has changed significantly. This is the first CVS checkin of
code that extends the options available for smartd. The following
options can be placed into the /etc/smartd.conf file, and control the
behavior of smartd.
- Configuration file Directives (following device name):
-A Device is an ATA device
-S Device is a SCSI device
-c Monitor SMART Health Status
-l Monitor SMART Error Log for changes
-L Monitor SMART Self-Test Log for new errors
-f Monitor for failure of any 'Usage' Attributes
-p Report changes in 'Prefailure' Attributes
-u Report changes in 'Usage' Attributes
-t Equivalent to -p and -u Directives
-a Equivalent to -c -l -L -f -t Directives
-i ID Ignore Attribute ID for -f Directive
-I ID Ignore Attribute ID for -p, -u or -t Directive
# Comment: text after a hash sign is ignored
\ Line continuation character
- cleaned up functions used for printing CVS IDs. Now use string
library, as it should be.
- modified length of device name string in smartd internal structure
to accomodate max length device name strings
- removed un-implemented (-e = Email notification) option from
command line arg list. We'll put it back on when implemeneted.
- smartd now logs serious (fatal) conditions in its operation at
loglevel LOG_CRIT rather than LOG_INFO before exiting with error.
- smartd used to open a file descriptor for each SMART enabled
- device, and then keep it open the entire time smartd was running.
This meant that some commands, like IOREADBLKPART did not work,
since the fd to the device was open. smartd now opens the device
when it needs to read values, then closes it. Also, if one time
around it can't open the device, it simply prints a warning
message but does not give up. Have eliminated the .fd field from
data structures -- no longer gets used.
- smartd now opens SCSI devices as well using O_RDONLY rather than
O_RDWR. If someone can no longer monitor a SCSI device that used
to be readable, this may well be the reason why.
- smartd never checked if the number of ata or scsi devices detected
was greater than the max number it could monitor. Now it does.
* Fri Oct 25 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
- changes to the Makefile and spec file so that if there are ungzipped manual
pages in place these will be removed so that the new gzipped man pages are
visible.
- smartd on startup now looks in the configuration file /etc/smartd.conf for
a list of devices which to include in its monitoring list. See man page
(man smartd) for syntax. If not found, try all ata and ide devices.
- smartd: close file descriptors of SCSI device if not SMART capable
Closes ALL file descriptors after forking to daemon.
- added new temperature attribute (231, temperature)
- smartd: now open ATA disks using O_RDONLY
* Thu Oct 24 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
- smartd now prints the name of a failed or changed attribute into logfile,
not just ID number
- Changed name of -p (print version) option to -V
- Minor change in philosophy: if a SMART command fails or the device
appears incapable of a SMART command that the user has asked for,
complain by printing an error message, but go ahead and try
anyway. Since unimplemented SMART commands should just return an
error but not cause disk problems, this should't cause any
difficulty.
- Added two new flags: q and Q. q is quiet mode - only print: For
the -l option, errors recorded in the SMART error log; For the -L
option, errors recorded in the device self-test log; For the -c
SMART "disk failing" status or device attributes (pre-failure or
usage) which failed either now or in the past; For the -v option
device attributes (pre-failure or usage) which failed either now
or in the past. Q is Very Quiet mode: Print no ouput. The only
way to learn about what was found is to use the exit status of
smartctl.
- smartctl now returns sensible values (bitmask). See smartctl.h
for the values, and the man page for documentation.
- The SMART status check now uses the correct ATA call. If failure
is detected we search through attributes to list the failed ones.
If the SMART status check shows GOOD, we then look to see if their
are any usage attributes or prefail attributes have failed at any
time. If so we print them.
- Modified function that prints vendor attributes to say if the
attribute has currently failed or has ever failed.
- -p option now prints out license info and CVS strings for all
modules in the code, nicely formatted.
- Previous versions of this code (and Smartsuite) only generate
SMART failure errors if the value of an attribute is below the
threshold and the prefailure bit is set. However the ATA Spec
(ATA4 <=Rev 4) says that it is a SMART failure if the value of an
attribute is LESS THAN OR EQUAL to the threshold and the
prefailure bit is set. This is now fixed in both smartctl and
smartd. Note that this is a troubled subject -- the original
SFF 8035i specification defining SMART was inconsistent about
this. One section says that Attribute==Threshold is pass,
and another section says it is fail. However the ATA specs are
consistent and say Attribute==Threshold is a fail.
- smartd did not print the correct value of any failing SMART attribute. It
printed the index in the attribute table, not the attribute
ID. This is fixed.
- when starting self-tests in captive mode ioctl returns EIO because
the drive has been busied out. Detect this and don't return an eror
in this case. Check this this is correct (or how to fix it?)
- fixed possible error in how to determine ATA standard support
for devices with no ATA minor revision number.
- device opened only in read-only not read-write mode. Don't need R/W
access to get smart data. Check this with Andre.
- smartctl now handles all possible choices of "multiple options"
gracefully. It goes through the following phases of operation,
in order: INFORMATION, ENABLE/DISABLE, DISPLAY DATA, RUN/ABORT TESTS.
Documentation has bee updated to explain the different phases of
operation. Control flow through ataPrintMain()
simplified.- If reading device identity information fails, try seeing if the info
can be accessed using a "DEVICE PACKET" command. This way we can
at least get device info.
- Modified Makefile to automatically tag CVS archive on issuance of
a release
- Modified drive detection so minor device ID code showing ATA-3 rev
0 (no SMART) is known to not be SMART capable.
- Now verify the checksum of the device ID data structure, and of the
attributes threshold structure. Before neither of these
structures had their checksums verified.
- New behavior vis-a-vis checksums. If they are wrong, we log
warning messages to stdout, stderr, and syslog, but carry on
anyway. All functions now call a checksumwarning routine if the
checksum doesn't vanish as it should.
- Changed Read Hard Disk Identity function to get fresh info from
the disk on each call rather than to use the values that were read
upon boot-up into the BIOS. This is the biggest change in this
release. The ioctl(device, HDIO_GET_IDENTITY, buf ) call should
be avoided in such code. Note that if people get garbled strings
for the model, serial no and firmware versions of their drives,
then blame goes here (the BIOS does the byte swapping for you,
apparently!)
- Function ataSmartSupport now looks at correct bits in drive
identity structure to verify first that these bits are valid,
before using them.
- Function ataIsSmartEnabled() written which uses the Drive ID state
information to tell if SMART is enabled or not. We'll carry this
along for the moment without using it.
- Function ataDoesSmartWork() guaranteed to work if the device
supports SMART.
- Replace some numbers by #define MACROS
- Wrote Function TestTime to return test time associated with each
different type of test.
- Thinking of the future, have added a new function called
ataSmartStatus2(). Eventually when I understand how to use the
TASKFILE API and am sure that this works correctly, it will
replace ataSmartStatus(). This queries the drive directly to
see if the SMART status is OK, rather than comparing thresholds to
attribute values ourselves. But I need to get some drives that fail
their SMART status to check it.

- Removed extraneous space before some error message printing.
- Fixed some character buffers that were too short for contents.
Only used for unrecognized drives, so probably damage was minimal.
* Wed Oct 16 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
- Initial release. Code is derived from smartsuite, and is
intended to be compatible with the ATA/ATAPI-5 specifications.
- For IBM disks whose raw temp data includes three temps. print all
three
- print timestamps for error log to msec precision
- added -m option for Hitachi disks that store power on life in
minutes
- added -L option for printing self-test error logs
- in -l option, now print power on lifetime, so that one can see
when the error took place
- updated SMART structure definitions to ATA-5 spec
- added -p option
- added -f and -F options to enable/disable autosave threshold
parameters
