%description
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 Oct 29 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
- 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.
* Thu Oct 17 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
- 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
