51 | \fBsmartd\fP is a daemon that monitors the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and |
52 | Reporting Technology (SMART) system built into most ATA/SATA and SCSI/SAS | |
53 | hard drives and solid-state drives. | |
54 | The purpose of SMART is to monitor the reliability of the hard drive | |
55 | and predict drive failures, and to carry out different types of drive | |
56 | self-tests. | |
57 | This version of \fBsmartd\fP is compatible with | |
d2e702cf | 58 | ACS-3, ACS-2, ATA8-ACS, ATA/ATAPI-7 and earlier standards |
ee38a438 | 59 | (see \fBREFERENCES\fP below). |
f9e10201 | 60 | .PP |
832b75ed | 61 | \fBsmartd\fP will attempt to enable SMART monitoring on ATA devices |
f9e10201 | 62 | (equivalent to \fBsmartctl \-s on\fP) and polls these and SCSI devices |
832b75ed GG |
63 | every 30 minutes (configurable), logging SMART errors and changes of |
64 | SMART Attributes via the SYSLOG interface. The default location for | |
e9583e0c GI |
65 | these SYSLOG notifications and warnings is system-dependent |
66 | (typically \fB/var/log/messages\fP or \fB/var/log/syslog\fP). | |
f9e10201 | 67 | To change this default location, please see the \*(Aq\-l\*(Aq |
832b75ed | 68 | command-line option described below. |
f9e10201 | 69 | .PP |
832b75ed GG |
70 | In addition to logging to a file, \fBsmartd\fP can also be configured |
71 | to send email warnings if problems are detected. Depending upon the | |
ee38a438 | 72 | type of problem, you may want to run self-tests on the disk, back up |
f9e10201 | 73 | the disk, replace the disk, or use a manufacturer's utility to force |
832b75ed GG |
74 | reallocation of bad or unreadable disk sectors. If disk problems are |
75 | detected, please see the \fBsmartctl\fP manual page and the | |
76 | \fBsmartmontools\fP web page/FAQ for further guidance. | |
f9e10201 | 77 | .PP |
832b75ed GG |
78 | If you send a \fBUSR1\fP signal to \fBsmartd\fP it will immediately |
79 | check the status of the disks, and then return to polling the disks | |
f9e10201 JD |
80 | every 30 minutes. |
81 | See the \*(Aq\-i\*(Aq option below for additional details. | |
82 | .PP | |
832b75ed | 83 | \fBsmartd\fP can be configured at start-up using the configuration |
e9583e0c | 84 | file \fB/usr/local/etc/smartd.conf\fP (Windows: \fBEXEDIR/smartd.conf\fP). |
832b75ed GG |
85 | If the configuration file is subsequently modified, \fBsmartd\fP |
86 | can be told to re-read the configuration file by sending it a | |
87 | \fBHUP\fP signal, for example with the command: | |
d2e702cf | 88 | .br |
f9e10201 | 89 | \fBkillall \-HUP smartd\fP. |
d2e702cf | 90 | .br |

832b75ed | 92 | (Windows: See NOTES below.) |
d008864d | 93 | .\" %ENDIF OS Windows |
f9e10201 | 94 | .PP |
832b75ed | 95 | On startup, if \fBsmartd\fP finds a syntax error in the configuration |
f9e10201 | 96 | file, it will print an error message and then exit. However if |
832b75ed GG |
97 | \fBsmartd\fP is already running, then is told with a \fBHUP\fP signal |
98 | to re-read the configuration file, and then find a syntax error in | |
99 | this file, it will print an error message and then continue, ignoring | |
100 | the contents of the (faulty) configuration file, as if the \fBHUP\fP | |
101 | signal had never been received. | |
f9e10201 | 102 | .PP |
832b75ed | 103 | When \fBsmartd\fP is running in debug mode, the \fBINT\fP signal |
ee38a438 | 104 | (normally generated from a shell with CONTROL-C) is treated in the |
832b75ed | 105 | same way as a \fBHUP\fP signal: it makes \fBsmartd\fP reload its |
f9e10201 JD |
106 | configuration file. |
107 | To exit \fBsmartd\fP use CONTROL-\e. | |

832b75ed GG |
676 | When \fBsmartd\fP makes log entries, these are time-stamped. The time |
677 | stamps are in the computer's local time zone, which is generally set | |
f9e10201 | 678 | using either the environment variable \*(Aq\fBTZ\fP\*(Aq or using a |
832b75ed GG |
679 | time-zone file such as \fB/etc/localtime\fP. You may wish to change |
680 | the timezone while \fBsmartd\fP is running (for example, if you carry | |
681 | a laptop to a new time-zone and don't reboot it). Due to a bug in the | |
d2e702cf | 682 | \fBtzset\fP(3) function of many unix standard C libraries, the |
832b75ed GG |
683 | time-zone stamps of \fBsmartd\fP might not change. For some systems, |
684 | \fBsmartd\fP will work around this problem \fIif\fP the time-zone is | |
f9e10201 JD |
685 | set using \fB/etc/localtime\fP. The work-around \fIfails\fP if the |
686 | time-zone is set using the \*(Aq\fBTZ\fP\*(Aq variable (or a file that it | |

821 | If you would like to understand better how SMART works, and what it |
822 | does, a good place to start is with Sections 4.8 and 6.54 of the first | |
f9e10201 | 823 | volume of the \*(AqAT Attachment with Packet Interface-7\*(Aq (ATA/ATAPI-7) |
e9583e0c GI |
824 | specification Revision 4b. This documents the SMART functionality which the |
825 | \fBsmartmontools\fP utilities provide access to. | |

827 | The functioning of SMART was originally defined by the SFF-8035i |
828 | revision 2 and the SFF-8055i revision 1.4 specifications. These are | |
e9583e0c | 829 | publications of the Small Form Factors (SFF) Committee. |
