smartmontools contains utility programs (smartctl, smartd) to control/monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.) built into most modern ATA and SCSI disks. It is derived from smartsuite.
Features
- Schedule S.M.A.R.T. testing of your drive on a regular base with smartd
- smartd prints log messages and triggers alert mails when a failure of your drive is predictable

Had this installed a couple of years ago on my server, now I'm trying to install it again on a new linux server, but it seems the entire www.smartmontools.org website (where all the help files are located) has an error. (Did someone forget to pay the electric bill?) P.S. I'll set this to 5 stars if I can ever get it installed correctly!

Great set of tools for monitoring HDD and SMART data etc. For poster TheFlipSide, yes there are a couple of good GUI tools that layer over and drive the lower level command set. For windows, I use this very good one: hddguardian so search for that on the CODEPLEX (I cannot put a URL in the review).

Great, with one exception! smartd (on linux server/as daemon on linux) will send warning mail of current pending sector/offline uncorrectable each time the server boots (or smartd is started) therefore, a server which boots each day will "spam" the inbox of the admin with these mails. If only it could write the last state/mail sent in a dir (like /var/lib or something), that would be great.

Have been using smartctl for ages and included it into ever-fresh ALT Linux Rescue of course -- the project is just great!
