It does mention it on their homepage, but I didn't check it before since a lot of sourceforge projects don't put anything there at all. As for the date of 2001, that didn't bother me because the version number was high enough to imply that it had simply hit a stable point; after all, it's just a utility to dump information from a standard interface, I don't expect daily changes. I'll look into the other projects when I get a chance, but this is working for now. In fact, smartmontools appears to be the same project. urpmi smartmontools gets nothing. http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ -- excuse me? Don't download the src.rpm? Okay [/me backs slowly towards exit] A little diffing of the source tarballs shows they are indeed the same project. src.rpm builds and installs with no issues. smartd works and smartctl shows same information, only more of it. well, that was exciting. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...

This would be a sweet addition to Mandrake's base install: http://sourceforge.net/projects/smartsuite/ to compile on Mandrake, download the src.rpm and rpm -ivh it. Then edit the /usr/src/RPM/SPEC/smartsuite-2.1.spec file, go to the bottom and replace: /usr/man/man8/smartctl.8.gz /usr/man/man8/smartd.8.gz with /usr/man/man8/smartctl.8.bz2 /usr/man/man8/smartd.8.bz2 Now rpm -bb /usr/src/RPM/SPEC/smartsuite-2.1.spec and rpm -ivh the generated RPM. Next edit /etc/init.d/smartd and insert something like: # chkconfig: 2345 05 97 in the comments at the top & run chkconfig smartd on, then service smartd start. This will dump any SMART errors into the syslog as they happen. You can also get extended info on the fly and run some intensive tests with smartctl, but that data looks tough to interpret. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...
