Is anyone using Mon to monitor their IDE disks onboard "SMART" monitoring features?
On NetBSD, one can use the "atactl" command as shown below. If the "reliability" column says "negative", the drive may be in trouble. If an entry marked "yes" in the "critical" column is "negative", data loss is imminent. # atactl wd0 smart status SMART supported, SMART enabled id value thresh crit collect reliability description raw 1 200 51 yes online positive Raw read error rate 0 3 94 21 yes online positive Spin-up time 2691 4 100 0 no online positive Start/stop count 9 5 200 140 yes online positive Reallocated sector count 0 7 200 51 yes online positive Seek error rate 0 9 91 0 no online positive Power-on hours count 7079 10 100 51 yes online positive Spin retry count 0 11 100 51 no online positive Calibration retry count 0 12 100 0 no online positive Device power cycle count 9 194 101 0 no online positive Temperature 42 196 200 0 no online positive Reallocated event count 0 197 200 0 no online positive Current pending sector 0 198 200 0 no offline positive Offline uncorrectable 0 199 200 0 no online positive Ultra DMA CRC error count 0 200 200 51 yes offline positive Unknown 0 _______________________________________________ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon
