<div align="left">This is the home page for smartmontools. &nbsp;The smartmontools
package contains two utility programs (<font color="#3333ff"><b>smartctl</b></font>
and <font color="#3333ff"><b>smartd</b></font>) to control and
monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting
Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.) built into most modern ATA and SCSI hard
disks. It is derived from the smartsuite package, and includes support
for ATA/ATAPI-5 disks. It should run on any modern linux system.<br>

</b><b><a name="howtodownload"></a></b><b> How to download and install
smartmontools<br>
</b>There are three different ways to get and install smartmontools.
&nbsp;You can use any one of these three procedures. &nbsp;Just after "Method
3" below are some instructions for trying out smartmontools once you have
completed the installation.<br>
<ol>
<li><b>First Method - Install from the RPM file:</b><br>
<ul>
<li>Download the latest binary RPM file (<tt>*.rpm</tt>) from
<a
href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=64297">here</a>
. &nbsp;Don't get the SRPM file (<tt>*.src.rpm</tt>).</li>
<li>Install it using RPM. &nbsp;You must be root to do this:<br>
<tt>su root</tt> &nbsp;(enter root password)<br>
<tt>rpm -ivh smartmontools-5.0-1.i386.rpm</tt></li>
<li>If you receive an error message, you have probably previously
installed the <tt>smartsuite</tt> package, or RedHat's kernel-utils package,
which provide older versions of the <tt>smartd</tt> and <tt>smartctl</tt>
utilities. &nbsp;In this case you should use the <tt>--nodeps</tt> or
<tt> --force</tt> arguments of rpm to replace these two utilities:<br>
<tt>rpm -ivh --nodeps --force smartmontools-5.0-1.i386.rpm</tt><br>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><b>Second Method - Install from the source tarball</b>:<br>
<ul>
<li>Download the latest source-code tarball from <a
href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=64297">here</a></li>
<li>Uncompress the tarball (note: you probably want the most
recent release)<br>
<tt>tar zxvf smartmontools-5.0.tar.gz</tt></li>
<li>The previous step created a directory called smartmontools-5.0
containing the code. &nbsp;Go to that directory, build, and install:<br>
<tt>cd smartmontools-5.0<br>
make<br>
make install &nbsp;</tt> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;[only root can do this]<br>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><b>Third Method - Download code directly from the CVS archive:</b><br>
<ul>
<li>Download the latest code snapshot from CVS. If prompted for a
password, simply press the Enter key. &nbsp;Note that the two lines below
that start "<tt>cvs</tt>" are long! <br>
<tt>cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.smartmontools.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/smartmontools
login</tt> <tt><br>
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.smartmontools.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/smartmontools
co sm5</tt><br>
</li>
<li>The previous step created a subdirectory called <tt>sm5/</tt>
containing the code. Go to that directory, build, and install:<br>
<tt>cd sm5<br>
make<br>
make install &nbsp;</tt> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;[only root can do this]<br>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<b>After installing using Method 1, 2 or 3 above, you can read the
man pages, and try out the commands:</b><br>
<blockquote>
<blockquote><tt>man 8 smartctl</tt><br>
<tt>man 8 smartd</tt><br>
<tt>smartctl -etf /dev/hda &nbsp;</tt>[only root can do this]<br>
<tt>smartctl -a /dev/hda &nbsp; &nbsp;</tt>[only root can do this]</blockquote>
</blockquote>

<a name="FAQ"></a><b>Frequently-asked questions<br>
</b>If your question is not here, please <a
href="mailto:smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net"> email me</a>.<br>
<ul>
<li><b>What do I do if I have problems, or need support? &nbsp;Suppose
I want to become a developer, or suggest some new extensions?</b><br>
Please send an email to the <a
href="http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/smartmontools-support">
smartmontools-support mailing list</a>.<br>
</li>
<li><b>What are the future plans for smartmontools?</b><br>
My plan is that smartmontools-5.x will support ATA/ATAPI-5 disks.
&nbsp;Eventually, we'll do smartmontools-6.x to support ATA/ATAPI-6 disks,
smartmontools-7.x for the ATA/ATAPI-7 standard, and so on. &nbsp;The
"x" will denote revision level, as bugs get found and fixed, and as enhancements
get added. &nbsp; If it's possible to maintain backwards compatibility,
that would be nice, but I don't know if it will be possible or practical.</li>
<li><b>Why are you doing this?</b><br>
My research group runs a beowulf cluster with 300 ATA-5 disks. &nbsp;We
have more than 20 TB of data stored on the system. &nbsp;It's nice to
have advanced warning when a disk is going to fail.</li>
<li><b>I see some strange output from smartctl. &nbsp;What does it
mean?</b><br>
The raw S.M.A.R.T. attributes (temperature, power-on lifetime, and
so on) are stored in vendor-specific structures. &nbsp;Sometime these are
strange. &nbsp;Hitachi disks (at least some of them) store power-on lifetime
in minutes, rather than hours. &nbsp;IBM disks (at least some of them) have
three temperatures stored in the raw structure, not just one. And so on.
&nbsp;If you find strange output, or unknown attributes, please send an email
to <a
href="ttp://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/smartmontools-support">
smartmontools-support</a> and we'll help you try and figure it out.</li>
<li><b>What attributes does smartmontools not yet recognize?<br>
</b>From a Hitachi disk: (221)(223)(225)(230)(250)<br>
If you can attach names/meanings to these attributes, please send me
a note to <a
href="ttp://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/smartmontools-support">
smartmontools-support</a>.</li>
<li><b>When I run <tt>smartd</tt> , the SYSLOG (<tt>/var/log/messages</tt>
) contains messages like this:</b><br>
<tt>smartd: Reading Device /dev/sdv <br>
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-65<br>
</tt>This is because when <tt>smartd</tt> starts, it looks for all
ATA and SCSI devices to monitor (matching the pattern <tt>/dev/hd[a-z]</tt>
or <tt>/dev/sd[a-z]</tt>). &nbsp;The log messages appear because your
system doesn't have most of these devices.<br>
A future release of smartd will have a command-line option to specify which
devices to include or exclude from start-up search.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<hr width="100%" size="2"><b><a name="testinghelp"></a>Help needed in testing
smartmontools, especially on SCSI disks/systems<br>
</b>I have access to a number of systems with ATA S.M.A.R.T. disks,
but I don't have any access to systems with SCSI S.M.A.R.T. devices. &nbsp;I'd
be very grateful to find someone who could help me test the smartmontools
code on SCSI disks. &nbsp;Since it's derived from the smartsuite package,
it should initially work about the same way with SCSI devices as the smartsuite
tools did.<br>
<br>
I'd be especially happy if someone would like to take on the task,
as a developer, of maintaining the SCSI code. &nbsp;Do you have a beowulf
cluster with a few hundred SCSI disks? Please volunteer!<br>
<hr width="100%" size="2"><a name="differfromsmartsuite"></a><b>How does smartmontools
differ from smartsuite?<br>
</b>Initially, only in that it supports the ATA/ATAPI-5 standard.
&nbsp;So for example <tt>smartctl</tt> from smartsuite has no facility
for printing the self-test logs, and doesn't print timestamp information
in the most usable way. But smartmontools is derived directly from smartsuite
and is very similar. <br>
<br>
The other principle difference is that I'd like to have smartmontools
be a true open-source project, meaning that we keep the files in CVS,
and that other developers who wish to contribute can commit changes to
the archive.<br>
<hr width="100%" size="2"><br>
<a name="references"></a><big><b>Useful references on S.M.A.R.T.
and the ATA/ATAPI standards<br>
