1 | smartmontools for Debian |
2 | ------------------------ | |
3 | ||
4 | To start smartd automatically on system startup set: | |
5 | start_smartd=yes | |
6 | in /etc/default/smartmontools. If you only want to enable S.M.A.R.T. for a | |
7 | device without running the daemon use the enable_smart variable. | |

9 | Don't use enable_smart for any disk monitored by smartd, this is likely to |
10 | cause problems, especially for SATA (see e.g. | |
11 | http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=365027). | |

13 | Package Maintainers and system administrators can put scripts to be run |
14 | when smartd detects an error into /etc/smartmontools/run.d. These | |
15 | scripts will be run by smartd-runner using run-parts(8). The script will | |
16 | receive the filename of the file containing the errormessage as first | |
17 | parameter. See /etc/smartmontools/run.d/10mail for an example. | |
