Short: Harddisk health analysis tool Author: http://sourceforge.net/projects/smartmontools Uploader: s guillard free fr (Stéphane Guillard) Type: driver/media Version: 5.33 Requires: OS4 Architecture: ppc-amigaos >= 4.0.0 http://sourceforge.net/projects/smartmontools smartmontools contains utilities that control and monitor storage devices using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) system build into ATA and SCSI Hard Drives. This is used to check the reliability of the hard drive and to predict drive failures. smartmontools Version 5.x is designed to comply to the ATA/ATAPI-5 specification (Revision 1). Future releases of smartmontools (Versions 6.x and 7.x) will comply with the ATA/ATAPI-6 and ATA/ATAPI-7 specifications. == CONTENTS == The original 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. I only ported smartctl, maybe smartd will be part of a future port.
