    == OVERVIEW ==
    smartmontools contains utilities that control and monitor storage
    devices using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology
    (SMART) system build into ATA/SATA and SCSI/SAS hard drives and
    solid-state drives.  This is used to check the reliability of the
    drive and to predict drive failures.
    
    
    == CONTENTS ==
    The suite contains two utilities:
    
    smartctl is a command line utility designed to perform S.M.A.R.T. tasks
    	 such as disk self-checks, and to report the S.M.A.R.T. status of
    	 the disk.
    
    smartd   is a daemon that periodically monitors S.M.A.R.T. status and
             reports errors and changes in S.M.A.R.T. attributes to syslog.

    SVN
    ---
    
    svn co http://svn.code.sf.net/p/smartmontools/code/trunk/smartmontools smartmontools
    
    This will create a subdirectory called smartmontools containing the code.
    
    To instead get the 5.38 release:
    
    svn co http://svn.code.sf.net/p/smartmontools/code/tags/RELEASE_5_38/sm5 smartmontools
    
    You can see what the different tags are by looking at
    http://sourceforge.net/p/smartmontools/code/HEAD/tree/tags/
    
    == BUILDING/INSTALLING SMARTMONTOOLS ==
    
    Refer to the "INSTALL" file for detailed installation instructions.
    
    == GETTING STARTED ==
    
    To examine SMART data from a disk, try:
      smartctl -a /dev/sda
    See the manual page 'man smartctl' for more information.
    
    To start automatic monitoring of your disks with the smartd daemon,
    try:
      smartd -d
    to start the daemon in foreground (debug) mode, or
      smartd
    to start the daemon in background mode.  This will log messages to
    SYSLOG.  If you would like to get email warning messages, please set
    up the configuration file smartd.conf with the '-m' mail warning
    Directive.  See the manual page 'man smartd' for more information.
