Hello, I am uncertain about -S option (SMART autosave of vendor specific Attributes). Should I use it just once when initializing the drives, or is it a good idea to use it in in smarts.conf as well? Ivan |

I never use -S because autosave is apparently always enabled by default. From the ATA Standard since ATA-3: "The state of the attribute autosave feature, either enabled or disabled, shall be preserved by the device during all power and reset events." |
