7# smartd will re-read the configuration file if it receives a HUP
8# signal
9
10# The file gives a list of devices to monitor using smartd, with one
11# device per line. Text after a hash (#) is ignored, and you may use
12# spaces and tabs for white space. You may use '\' to continue lines.
13
14# You can usually identify which hard disks are on your system by
15# looking in /proc/ide and in /proc/scsi.
16
17# The word DEVICESCAN will cause any remaining lines in this
18# configuration file to be ignored: it tells smartd to scan for all
19# ATA and SCSI devices. DEVICESCAN may be followed by any of the
20# Directives listed below, which will be applied to all devices that
21# are found. Most users should comment out DEVICESCAN and explicitly
22# list the devices that they wish to monitor.

25# First (primary) ATA/IDE hard disk. Monitor all attributes, enable
26# automatic online data collection, automatic Attribute autosave, and
27# start a short self-test every day between 2-3am, and a long self test
28# Saturdays between 3-4am.

31# Monitor SMART status, ATA Error Log, Self-test log, and track
32# changes in all attributes except for attribute 194
33#/dev/hdb -H -l error -l selftest -t -I 194

35# Linux-specific example: monitor a SATA (Serial ATA) disk which uses
36# the libata driver. This requires a Linux 2.6.15 or later kernel.
37# Note that the disk is addressed via a SCSI device, but the
38# underlying disk type is actually ATA

42# But send an email in this case

45# First two SCSI disks. This will monitor everything that smartd can
46# monitor. Start extended self-tests Wednesdays between 6-7pm and

54# NOTE: starting with the Linux 2.6 kernel series, the /dev/sdX interface
55# is DEPRECATED. Use the /dev/tweN character device interface instead.

67# HERE IS A LIST OF DIRECTIVES FOR THIS CONFIGURATION FILE.
68# PLEASE SEE THE smartd.conf MAN PAGE FOR DETAILS
69#
70# -d TYPE Set the device type: ata, scsi, marvell, removable, 3ware,N
71# -T TYPE set the tolerance to one of: normal, permissive
72# -o VAL Enable/disable automatic offline tests (on/off)
73# -S VAL Enable/disable attribute autosave (on/off)
74# -n MODE No check. MODE is one of: never, sleep, standby, idle
75# -H Monitor SMART Health Status, report if failed
76# -l TYPE Monitor SMART log. Type is one of: error, selftest
77# -f Monitor for failure of any 'Usage' Attributes
78# -m ADD Send warning email to ADD for -H, -l error, -l selftest, and -f
79# -M TYPE Modify email warning behavior (see man page)
80# -s REGE Start self-test when type/date matches regular expression (see man page)
81# -p Report changes in 'Prefailure' Normalized Attributes
82# -u Report changes in 'Usage' Normalized Attributes
83# -t Equivalent to -p and -u Directives
84# -r ID Also report Raw values of Attribute ID with -p, -u or -t
85# -R ID Track changes in Attribute ID Raw value with -p, -u or -t
86# -i ID Ignore Attribute ID for -f Directive
87# -I ID Ignore Attribute ID for -p, -u or -t Directive
88# -C ID Report if Current Pending Sector count non-zero
89# -U ID Report if Offline Uncorrectable count non-zero
90# -v N,ST Modifies labeling of Attribute N (see man page)
91# -a Default: equivalent to -H -f -t -l error -l selftest -C 197 -U 198
92# -F TYPE Use firmware bug workaround. Type is one of: none, samsung
93# -P TYPE Drive-specific presets: use, ignore, show, showall
94# # Comment: text after a hash sign is ignored
95# \ Line continuation character
96# Attribute ID is a decimal integer 1 <= ID <= 255
97# except for -C and -U, where ID = 0 turns them off.
98# All but -d, -m and -M Directives are only implemented for ATA devices
99#
100# If the test string DEVICESCAN is the first uncommented text
101# then smartd will scan for devices /dev/hd[a-l] and /dev/sd[a-z]
102# DEVICESCAN may be followed by any desired Directives.
