30 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
31 | \fB/usr/local/etc/smartd.conf\fP is the configuration file for the \fBsmartd\fP | |
32 | daemon, which monitors the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting | |
33 | Technology (SMART) system built into many ATA-3 and later ATA, IDE and | |
34 | SCSI-3 hard drives. | |
35 | ||
36 | If the configuration file \fB/usr/local/etc/smartd.conf\fP is present, | |
37 | \fBsmartd\fP reads it at startup, before \fBfork\fP(2)ing into the | |
38 | background. If \fBsmartd\fP subsequently receives a \fBHUP\fP signal, | |
39 | it will then re-read the configuration file. If \fBsmartd\fP is | |
40 | running in debug mode, then an \fBINT\fP signal will also make it | |
41 | re-read the configuration file. This signal can be generated by typing | |
42 | \fB\<CONTROL-C\>\fP in the terminal window where \fBsmartd\fP is | |
43 | running. | |

49 | .SH CONFIGURATION FILE /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf | |
50 | In the absence of a configuration file, under Linux | |
51 | \fBsmartd\fP | |
52 | will try to open the 20 ATA devices | |
53 | .B /dev/hd[a-t] | |
54 | and the 26 SCSI devices | |
55 | .B /dev/sd[a-z]. | |
56 | Under FreeBSD, | |
57 | \fBsmartd\fP | |
58 | will try to open all existing ATA devices (with entries in /dev) | |
59 | .B /dev/ad[0-9]+ | |
bed94269 | 60 | and all existing SCSI devices (using CAM subsystem). |
832b75ed GG |
61 | Under NetBSD/OpenBSD, |
62 | \fBsmartd\fP | |
63 | will try to open all existing ATA devices (with entries in /dev) | |
64 | .B /dev/wd[0-9]+c | |
65 | and all existing SCSI devices | |
66 | .B /dev/sd[0-9]+c. | |
67 | Under Solaris \fBsmartd\fP will try to open all entries \fB"/dev/rdsk/c?t?d?s?"\fP for IDE/ATA and SCSI disk | |
68 | devices, and entries \fB"/dev/rmt/*"\fP for SCSI tape devices. | |
69 | Under Windows \fBsmartd\fP will try to open all entries \fB"/dev/hd[a-j]"\fP ("\\\\.\\PhysicalDrive[0-9]") | |
70 | for IDE/ATA devices on WinNT4/2000/XP, \fB"/dev/hd[a-d]"\fP | |
71 | (bitmask from "\\\\.\\SMARTVSD") for IDE/ATA devices on Win95/98/98SE/ME, | |
72 | and \fB"/dev/scsi[0-9][0-7]"\fP (ASPI adapter 0-9, ID 0-7) for SCSI | |
73 | devices on all versions of Windows. | |
74 | Under Darwin, \fBsmartd\fP will open any ATA block storage device. | |
75 | ||
76 | This can be annoying if you have an ATA or SCSI device that hangs or | |
77 | misbehaves when receiving SMART commands. Even if this causes no | |
78 | problems, you may be annoyed by the string of error log messages about | |
79 | block-major devices that can\'t be found, and SCSI devices that can\'t | |
80 | be opened. | |
81 | ||
82 | One can avoid this problem, and gain more control over the types of | |
83 | events monitored by | |
84 | \fBsmartd\fP, | |
85 | by using the configuration file | |
86 | .B /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf. | |
87 | This file contains a list of devices to monitor, with one device per | |
88 | line. An example file is included with the | |
89 | .B smartmontools | |
90 | distribution. You will find this sample configuration file in | |
e9583e0c | 91 | \fB/usr/local/share/doc/smartmontools/\fP. For security, the configuration file |
832b75ed GG |
92 | should not be writable by anyone but root. The syntax of the file is as |
93 | follows: | |
94 | .IP \(bu 4 | |
95 | There should be one device listed per line, although you may have | |
96 | lines that are entirely comments or white space. | |
97 | .IP \(bu 4 | |
98 | Any text following a hash sign \'#\' and up to the end of the line is | |
99 | taken to be a comment, and ignored. | |
100 | .IP \(bu 4 | |
101 | Lines may be continued by using a backslash \'\e\' as the last | |
102 | non-whitespace or non-comment item on a line. | |
103 | .IP \(bu 4 | |
104 | Note: a line whose first character is a hash sign \'#\' is treated as | |
105 | a white-space blank line, \fBnot\fP as a non-existent line, and will | |
106 | \fBend\fP a continuation line. | |
107 | .PP 0 | |

235 | .PP | |
236 | ||
7f0798ef | 237 | If a non-comment entry in the configuration file is the text string |
832b75ed GG |
238 | .B DEVICESCAN |
239 | in capital letters, then | |
240 | \fBsmartd\fP | |
241 | will ignore any remaining lines in the configuration file, and will | |
242 | scan for devices. | |
243 | .B DEVICESCAN | |
244 | may optionally be followed by Directives that will apply to all | |
245 | devices that are found in the scan. Please see below for additional | |
246 | details. | |
247 | ||
248 | .sp 2 | |
249 | The following are the Directives that may appear following the device | |
250 | name or | |
251 | .B DEVICESCAN | |
252 | on any line of the | |
253 | .B /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf | |
254 | configuration file. Note that | |
255 | .B these are NOT command-line options for | |
256 | \fBsmartd\fP. | |
257 | The Directives below may appear in any order, following the device | |
258 | name. | |
259 | ||
260 | .B For an ATA device, | |
261 | if no Directives appear, then the device will be monitored | |
262 | as if the \'\-a\' Directive (monitor all SMART properties) had been given. | |
263 | ||
264 | .B If a SCSI disk is listed, | |
265 | it will be monitored at the maximum implemented level: roughly | |
266 | equivalent to using the \'\-H \-l selftest\' options for an ATA disk. | |
267 | So with the exception of \'\-d\', \'\-m\', \'\-l selftest\', \'\-s\', and | |
268 | \'\-M\', the Directives below are ignored for SCSI disks. For SCSI | |
269 | disks, the \'\-m\' Directive sends a warning email if the SMART status | |
270 | indicates a disk failure or problem, if the SCSI inquiry about disk | |
271 | status fails, or if new errors appear in the self-test log. | |
272 | ||
273 | .B If a 3ware controller is used | |
274 | then the corresponding SCSI (/dev/sd?) or character device (/dev/twe? | |
275 | or /dev/twa?) must be listed, along with the \'\-d 3ware,N\' Directive | |
276 | (see below). The individual ATA disks hosted by the 3ware controller | |
277 | appear to \fBsmartd\fP as normal ATA devices. Hence all the ATA | |
278 | directives can be used for these disks (but see note below). | |
279 | ||
2127e193 GI |
280 | .B If an Areca controller is used |
281 | then the corresponding SCSI generic device (/dev/sg?) must be listed, | |
282 | along with the \'\-d areca,N\' Directive (see below). The individual | |
283 | SATA disks hosted by the Areca controller appear to \fBsmartd\fP as | |
284 | normal ATA devices. Hence all the ATA directives can be used for | |
285 | these disks. Areca firmware version 1.46 or later which supports | |
bed94269 GI |
286 | smartmontools must be used; Please see the \fBsmartctl\fP(8) man page |
287 | for further details. | |
832b75ed GG |
288 | .TP |
289 | .B \-d TYPE | |
290 | Specifies the type of the device. This Directive may be used multiple | |
2127e193 GI |
291 | times for one device, but the arguments \fIata\fP, \fIscsi\fP, |
292 | \fIsat\fP, \fImarvell\fP, \fIcciss,N\fP, \fIareca,N\fP, \fImegaraid,N\fP | |
293 | and \fI3ware,N\fP are mutually-exclusive. If more than one is given then | |
294 | \fBsmartd\fP will use the last one which appears. | |
832b75ed GG |
295 | |
296 | If none of these three arguments is given, then \fBsmartd\fP will | |
297 | first attempt to guess the device type by looking at whether the sixth | |
298 | character in the device name is an \'s\' or an \'h\'. This will work for | |
299 | device names like /dev/hda or /dev/sdb, and corresponds to choosing | |
300 | \fIata\fP or \fIscsi\fP respectively. If | |
301 | \fBsmartd\fP | |
302 | can\'t guess from this sixth character, then it will simply try to | |
303 | access the device using first ATA and then SCSI ioctl()s. | |
304 | ||
305 | The valid arguments to this Directive are: | |
306 | ||
307 | .I ata | |
308 | \- the device type is ATA. This prevents | |
309 | \fBsmartd\fP | |
310 | from issuing SCSI commands to an ATA device. | |
311 | ||
312 | .I scsi | |
313 | \- the device type is SCSI. This prevents | |
314 | \fBsmartd\fP | |
315 | from issuing ATA commands to a SCSI device. | |
316 | ||
4d59bff9 GG |
317 | .I sat |
318 | \- the device type is SCSI to ATA Translation (SAT). | |
319 | \fBsmartd\fP | |
320 | will generate ATA (smart) commands and then package them in | |
321 | the SAT defined ATA PASS THROUGH SCSI commands. The commands | |
322 | are then routed through the SCSI pass through interface to the | |
323 | operating system. There are two types of ATA PASS THROUGH | |
324 | SCSI commands: a 12 byte and 16 byte variant. | |
325 | \fBsmartd\fP | |
326 | can use either and defaults to the 16 byte variant. This can | |
327 | be overridden with this syntax: \'\-d sat,12\' or \'\-d sat,16\'. | |
328 | ||
832b75ed GG |
329 | .I marvell |
330 | \- Under Linux, interact with SATA disks behind Marvell chip-set | |
331 | controllers (using the Marvell rather than libata driver). | |
332 | ||
2127e193 GI |
333 | .I megaraid,N |
334 | \- the device consists of one or more SCSI/SAS/SATA disks connected | |
335 | to a MegaRAID controller. The non-negative integer N (in the range | |
336 | of 0 to 127 inclusive) denotes which disk on the controller is monitored. | |
337 | In log files and email messages this disk will be identified as | |
338 | megaraid_disk_XXX with XXX in the range from 000 to 127 inclusive. | |
339 | ||
832b75ed GG |
340 | .I 3ware,N |
341 | \- the device consists of one or more ATA disks connected to a 3ware | |
2127e193 | 342 | RAID controller. The non-negative integer N (in the range from 0 to 127 |
832b75ed | 343 | inclusive) denotes which disk on the controller is monitored. In log |
2127e193 GI |
344 | files and email messages this disk will be identified as 3ware_disk_XXX |
345 | with XXX in the range from 000 to 127 inclusive. | |
832b75ed GG |
346 | |
347 | This Directive may at first appear confusing, because the 3ware | |
348 | controller is a SCSI device (such as /dev/sda) and should be listed as | |
349 | such in the the configuration file. | |
350 | However when the \'\-d 3ware,N\' | |
351 | Directive is used, then the corresponding disk is addressed using | |
352 | native ATA commands which are \'passed through\' the SCSI driver. All | |
353 | ATA Directives listed in this man page may be used. Note that while | |
354 | you may use \fBany\fP of the 3ware SCSI logical devices /dev/sd? to | |
355 | address \fBany\fP of the physical disks (3ware ports), error and log | |
356 | messages will make the most sense if you always list the 3ware SCSI | |
357 | logical device corresponding to the particular physical disks. Please | |
bed94269 | 358 | see the \fBsmartctl\fP(8) man page for further details. |
832b75ed GG |
359 | |
360 | ATA disks behind 3ware controllers may alternatively be accessed via a | |
361 | character device interface /dev/twe0-15 (3ware 6000/7000/8000 | |
362 | controllers) and /dev/twa0-15 (3ware 9000 series controllers). Note | |
363 | that the 9000 series controllers may \fBonly\fP be accessed using the | |
364 | character device interface /dev/twa0-15 and not the SCSI device | |
bed94269 | 365 | interface /dev/sd?. Please see the \fBsmartctl\fP(8) man page for |
832b75ed GG |
366 | further details. |

412 | that it should continue (instead of exiting, which is the default | |
413 | behavior) if the device does not appear to be present when | |
414 | \fBsmartd\fP is started. This Directive may be used in conjunction | |
415 | with the other \'\-d\' Directives. | |
832b75ed | 416 | .TP |
2127e193 | 417 | .B \-n POWERMODE[,N][,q] |
832b75ed GG |
418 | This \'nocheck\' Directive is used to prevent a disk from being |
419 | spun-up when it is periodically polled by \fBsmartd\fP. | |
420 | ||
421 | ATA disks have five different power states. In order of increasing | |
422 | power consumption they are: \'OFF\', \'SLEEP\', \'STANDBY\', \'IDLE\', | |
423 | and \'ACTIVE\'. Typically in the OFF, SLEEP, and STANDBY modes the | |
424 | disk\'s platters are not spinning. But usually, in response to SMART | |
425 | commands issued by \fBsmartd\fP, the disk platters are spun up. So if | |
426 | this option is not used, then a disk which is in a low\-power mode may | |
427 | be spun up and put into a higher\-power mode when it is periodically | |
428 | polled by \fBsmartd\fP. | |
429 | ||
430 | Note that if the disk is in SLEEP mode when \fBsmartd\fP is started, | |
431 | then it won't respond to \fBsmartd\fP commands, and so the disk won't | |
432 | be registered as a device for \fBsmartd\fP to monitor. If a disk is in | |
433 | any other low\-power mode, then the commands issued by \fBsmartd\fP to | |
434 | register the disk will probably cause it to spin\-up. | |
435 | ||
436 | The \'\fB\-n\fP\' (nocheck) Directive specifies if \fBsmartd\fP\'s | |
437 | periodic checks should still be carried out when the device is in a | |
438 | low\-power mode. It may be used to prevent a disk from being spun\-up | |
439 | by periodic \fBsmartd\fP polling. The allowed values of POWERMODE | |
440 | are: | |
441 | ||
442 | .I never | |
443 | \- \fBsmartd\fP will poll (check) the device regardless of its power | |
444 | mode. This may cause a disk which is spun\-down to be spun\-up when | |
445 | \fBsmartd\fP checks it. This is the default behavior if the '\-n' | |
446 | Directive is not given. | |
447 | ||
448 | .I sleep | |
449 | \- check the device unless it is in SLEEP mode. | |
450 | ||
451 | .I standby | |
452 | \- check the device unless it is in SLEEP or STANDBY mode. In | |
453 | these modes most disks are not spinning, so if you want to prevent | |
454 | a laptop disk from spinning up each time that \fBsmartd\fP polls, | |
455 | this is probably what you want. | |
456 | ||
457 | .I idle | |
458 | \- check the device unless it is in SLEEP, STANDBY or IDLE mode. | |
459 | In the IDLE state, most disks are still spinning, so this is probably | |
460 | not what you want. | |
461 | ||
2127e193 GI |
462 | Maximum number of skipped checks (in a row) can be specified by |
463 | appending positive number \',N\' to POWERMODE (like \'\-n standby,15\'). | |
464 | After N checks are skipped in a row, powermode is ignored and the | |
465 | check is performed anyway. | |
4d59bff9 | 466 | |
832b75ed GG |
467 | When a periodic test is skipped, \fBsmartd\fP normally writes an |
468 | informal log message. The message can be suppressed by appending | |
469 | the option \',q\' to POWERMODE (like \'\-n standby,q\'). | |
470 | This prevents a laptop disk from spinning up due to this message. | |
471 | ||

639 | Scheduled tests are run immediately following the regularly-scheduled | |
640 | device polling, if the current local date, time, and test type, match | |
641 | \fBREGEXP\fP. By default the regularly-scheduled device polling | |
642 | occurs every thirty minutes after starting \fBsmartd\fP. Take caution | |
643 | if you use the \'\-i\' option to make this polling interval more than | |
644 | sixty minutes: the poll times may fail to coincide with any of the | |
2127e193 GI |
645 | testing times that you have specified with \fBREGEXP\fP. In this case |

660 | Each time a test is run, \fBsmartd\fP will log an entry to SYSLOG. |
661 | You can use these or the '-q showtests' command-line option to verify | |
662 | that you constructed \fBREGEXP\fP correctly. The matching order | |
663 | (\fBL\fP before \fBS\fP before \fBC\fP before \fBO\fP) ensures that | |
664 | if multiple test types are all scheduled for the same hour, the | |
665 | longer test type has precedence. This is usually the desired behavior. | |
666 | ||
2127e193 GI |
667 | If the scheduled tests are used in conjunction with state persistence |
668 | (\'\-s\' option), smartd will also try to match the hours since last | |
669 | shutdown (or 90 days at most). If any test would have been started | |
670 | during downtime, the longest (see above) of these tests is run after | |
671 | second device polling. | |
672 | ||

711 | find the mail command (normally /bin/mail) an executable named | |
712 | .B \'mail\' | |

719 | Note that by default under Solaris, in the previous paragraph, | |
720 | \'\fBmailx\fP\' and \'\fB/bin/mailx\fP\' are used, since Solaris | |
721 | \'/bin/mail\' does not accept a \'\-s\' (Subject) command-line | |
722 | argument. | |

753 | \fBsmartd\fP | |
754 | email warnings enabled with the \'\-m\' email Directive described above. | |
755 | These \'\-M\' Directives only work in conjunction with the \'\-m\' | |
756 | Directive and can not be used without it. | |
757 | ||
758 | Multiple \-M Directives may be given. If more than one of the | |
759 | following three \-M Directives are given (example: \-M once \-M daily) | |
760 | then the final one (in the example, \-M daily) is used. | |
761 | ||
762 | The valid arguments to the \-M Directive are (one of the following | |
763 | three): | |
764 | ||
765 | .I once | |
766 | \- send only one warning email for each type of disk problem detected. This | |
767 | is the default. | |
768 | ||
769 | .I daily | |
770 | \- send additional warning reminder emails, once per day, for each type | |
771 | of disk problem detected. | |
772 | ||
773 | .I diminishing | |
774 | \- send additional warning reminder emails, after a one-day interval, | |
775 | then a two-day interval, then a four-day interval, and so on for each | |
776 | type of disk problem detected. Each interval is twice as long as the | |
777 | previous interval. | |
778 | ||
779 | In addition, one may add zero or more of the following Directives: | |
780 | ||
781 | .I test | |
782 | \- send a single test email | |
783 | immediately upon | |
784 | \fBsmartd\fP | |
785 | startup. This allows one to verify that email is delivered correctly. | |
9ebc753d GG |
786 | Note that if this Directive is used, |
787 | \fBsmartd\fP | |
788 | will also send the normal email warnings that were enabled with the \'\-m\' Directive, | |
789 | in addition to the single test email! | |
832b75ed GG |
790 | |
791 | .I exec PATH | |
792 | \- run the executable PATH instead of the default mail command, when | |
793 | \fBsmartd\fP | |
794 | needs to send email. PATH must point to an executable binary file or | |
795 | script. | |
796 | ||
797 | By setting PATH to point to a customized script, you can make | |
798 | \fBsmartd\fP perform useful tricks when a disk problem is detected | |
799 | (beeping the console, shutting down the machine, broadcasting warnings | |
800 | to all logged-in users, etc.) But please be careful. \fBsmartd\fP | |
801 | will \fBblock\fP until the executable PATH returns, so if your | |
802 | executable hangs, then \fBsmartd\fP will also hang. Some sample | |
803 | scripts are included in | |
e9583e0c | 804 | /usr/local/share/doc/smartmontools/examplescripts/. |
832b75ed GG |
805 | |
806 | The return status of the executable is recorded by \fBsmartd\fP in | |
807 | SYSLOG. The executable is not expected to write to STDOUT or | |
808 | STDERR. If it does, then this is interpreted as indicating that | |
809 | something is going wrong with your executable, and a fragment of this | |
810 | output is logged to SYSLOG to help you to understand the problem. | |
811 | Normally, if you wish to leave some record behind, the executable | |
812 | should send mail or write to a file or device. | |
813 | ||
814 | Before running the executable, \fBsmartd\fP sets a number of | |
815 | environment variables. These environment variables may be used to | |
816 | control the executable\'s behavior. The environment variables | |
817 | exported by \fBsmartd\fP are: | |
818 | .RS 7 | |
819 | .IP \fBSMARTD_MAILER\fP 4 | |
820 | is set to the argument of \-M exec, if present or else to \'mail\' | |
821 | (examples: /bin/mail, mail). | |
822 | .IP \fBSMARTD_DEVICE\fP 4 | |
823 | is set to the device path (examples: /dev/hda, /dev/sdb). | |
824 | .IP \fBSMARTD_DEVICETYPE\fP 4 | |
2127e193 GI |
825 | is set to the device type (possible values: ata, scsi, 3ware,N, |
826 | areca,N, hpt,L/M/N). Here N=0,...,127 denotes the ATA disk behind a | |
827 | 3ware RAID controller and L/M/N denotes the SATA disk behind a | |
828 | HighPoint RocketRAID controller. | |
832b75ed GG |
829 | .IP \fBSMARTD_DEVICESTRING\fP 4 |
830 | is set to the device description. For SMARTD_DEVICETYPE of ata or | |
831 | scsi, this is the same as SMARTD_DEVICE. For 3ware RAID controllers, | |
2127e193 GI |
832 | the form used is \'/dev/sdc [3ware_disk_01]\'. For HighPoint |
833 | RocketRAID controller, the form is \'/dev/sdd [hpt_1/1/1]\' under Linux | |
834 | or \'/dev/hptrr [hpt_1/1/1]\' under FreeBSD. For Areca controllers, the | |
835 | form is \'/dev/sg2 [areca_disk_09]\'. In these cases the device string | |
836 | contains a space and is NOT quoted. So to use $SMARTD_DEVICESTRING in a | |
837 | bash script you should probably enclose it in double quotes. | |
832b75ed GG |
838 | .IP \fBSMARTD_FAILTYPE\fP 4 |
839 | gives the reason for the warning or message email. The possible values that | |
840 | it takes and their meanings are: | |
841 | .nf | |
842 | .fi | |
843 | \fIEmailTest\fP: this is an email test message. | |
844 | .nf | |

879 | .nf | |
880 | .fi | |
881 | \fIFailedOpenDevice\fP: the open() command to the device failed. | |
882 | .IP \fBSMARTD_ADDRESS\fP 4 | |
883 | is determined by the address argument ADD of the \'\-m\' Directive. | |
884 | If ADD is \fB<nomailer>\fP, then \fBSMARTD_ADDRESS\fP is not set. | |
885 | Otherwise, it is set to the comma-separated-list of email addresses | |
886 | given by the argument ADD, with the commas replaced by spaces | |
887 | (example:admin@example.com root). If more than one email address is | |
888 | given, then this string will contain space characters and is NOT | |
889 | quoted, so to use it in a bash script you may want to enclose it in | |
890 | double quotes. | |
891 | .IP \fBSMARTD_MESSAGE\fP 4 | |
892 | is set to the one sentence summary warning email message string from | |
893 | \fBsmartd\fP. | |
894 | This message string contains space characters and is NOT quoted. So to | |
895 | use $SMARTD_MESSAGE in a bash script you should probably enclose it in | |
896 | double quotes. | |
897 | .IP \fBSMARTD_FULLMESSAGE\fP 4 | |
898 | is set to the contents of the entire email warning message string from | |
899 | \fBsmartd\fP. | |
900 | This message string contains space and return characters and is NOT quoted. So to | |
901 | use $SMARTD_FULLMESSAGE in a bash script you should probably enclose it in | |
902 | double quotes. | |
903 | .IP \fBSMARTD_TFIRST\fP 4 | |
904 | is a text string giving the time and date at which the first problem | |
905 | of this type was reported. This text string contains space characters | |
906 | and no newlines, and is NOT quoted. For example: | |
907 | .nf | |
908 | .fi | |
909 | Sun Feb 9 14:58:19 2003 CST | |
910 | .IP \fBSMARTD_TFIRSTEPOCH\fP 4 | |
911 | is an integer, which is the unix epoch (number of seconds since Jan 1, | |
912 | 1970) for \fBSMARTD_TFIRST\fP. | |
913 | .RE | |
914 | .\" The following two lines are a workaround for a man2html bug. Please leave them. | |

917 | .B \& | |
918 | The shell which is used to run PATH is system-dependent. For vanilla | |
919 | Linux/glibc it\'s bash. For other systems, the man page for | |
920 | \fBpopen\fP(3) should say what shell is used. | |
921 | ||
922 | If the \'\-m ADD\' Directive is given with a normal address argument, | |
923 | then the executable pointed to by PATH will be run in a shell with | |
924 | STDIN receiving the body of the email message, and with the same | |
925 | command-line arguments: | |
926 | .nf | |
927 | -s "$SMARTD_SUBJECT" $SMARTD_ADDRESS | |
928 | .fi | |
929 | that would normally be provided to \'mail\'. Examples include: | |
930 | .nf | |
931 | .B -m user@home -M exec /bin/mail | |
932 | .B -m admin@work -M exec /usr/local/bin/mailto | |
933 | .B -m root -M exec /Example_1/bash/script/below | |
934 | .fi | |
935 | ||
936 | Note that on Windows, the syntax of the \'\fBBlat\fP\' mailer is | |
937 | used: | |
938 | .nf | |
939 | - -q -subject "$SMARTD_SUBJECT" -to "$SMARTD_ADDRESS" | |
940 | .fi | |
941 | ||
942 | If the \'\-m ADD\' Directive is given with the special address argument | |
943 | .B <nomailer> | |
944 | then the executable pointed to by PATH is run in a shell with | |
945 | .B no | |
946 | STDIN and | |
947 | .B no | |
948 | command-line arguments, for example: | |
949 | .nf | |
950 | .B -m <nomailer> -M exec /Example_2/bash/script/below | |
951 | .fi | |
952 | If the executable produces any STDERR/STDOUT output, then \fBsmartd\fP | |
953 | assumes that something is going wrong, and a snippet of that output | |
954 | will be copied to SYSLOG. The remainder of the output is then | |
955 | discarded. | |
956 | ||
957 | Some EXAMPLES of scripts that can be used with the \'\-M exec\' | |
958 | Directive are given below. Some sample scripts are also included in | |

989 | Directive and has no effect without it. | |
990 | ||
991 | This is useful, for example, if you have a very old disk and don\'t | |
992 | want to keep getting messages about the hours-on-lifetime Attribute | |
993 | (usually Attribute 9) failing. This Directive may appear multiple | |
994 | times for a single device, if you want to ignore multiple Attributes. | |
995 | .TP | |

997 | Ignore device Attribute \fBID\fP when tracking changes in the | |
998 | Attribute values. \fBID\fP must be a decimal integer in the range | |
999 | from 1 to 255. This Directive modifies the behavior of the \'\-p\', | |
1000 | \'\-u\', and \'\-t\' tracking Directives and has no effect without one | |
1001 | of them. | |
1002 | ||
1003 | This is useful, for example, if one of the device Attributes is the disk | |
1004 | temperature (usually Attribute 194 or 231). It\'s annoying to get reports | |
1005 | each time the temperature changes. This Directive may appear multiple | |

1012 | the behavior of the \'\-p\', \'\-u\', and \'\-t\' tracking Directives | |
1013 | and has no effect without one of them. This Directive may be given | |
1014 | multiple times. | |

1025 | \fBID\fP changes. (Normally \fBsmartd\fP only tracks/reports changes | |
1026 | of the \fINormalized\fP Attribute values.) \fBID\fP must be a decimal | |
1027 | integer in the range from 1 to 255. This Directive modifies the | |
1028 | behavior of the \'\-p\', \'\-u\', and \'\-t\' tracking Directives and | |
1029 | has no effect without one of them. This Directive may be given | |
1030 | multiple times. | |
1031 | ||
1032 | If this Directive is given, it automatically implies the \'\-r\' | |
1033 | Directive for the same Attribute, so that the Raw value of the | |
1034 | Attribute is reported. | |
1035 | ||
1036 | A common use of this Directive is to track the device Temperature | |
1037 | (often ID=194 or 231). It is also useful for understanding how | |
1038 | different types of system behavior affects the values of certain | |
1039 | Attributes. | |

1062 | A pending sector is a disk sector (containing 512 bytes of your data) |
1063 | which the device would like to mark as ``bad" and reallocate. | |
1064 | Typically this is because your computer tried to read that sector, and | |
1065 | the read failed because the data on it has been corrupted and has | |
1066 | inconsistent Error Checking and Correction (ECC) codes. This is | |
1067 | important to know, because it means that there is some unreadable data | |
1068 | on the disk. The problem of figuring out what file this data belongs | |
1069 | to is operating system and file system specific. You can typically | |
1070 | force the sector to reallocate by writing to it (translation: make the | |
1071 | device substitute a spare good sector for the bad one) but at the | |
1072 | price of losing the 512 bytes of data stored there. | |

1136 | .B \-F TYPE | |
1137 | [ATA only] Modifies the behavior of \fBsmartd\fP to compensate for | |
1138 | some known and understood device firmware bug. The arguments to this | |
1139 | Directive are exclusive, so that only the final Directive given is | |
1140 | used. The valid values are: | |
1141 | ||
1142 | .I none | |
e9583e0c GI |
1143 | \- Assume that the device firmware obeys the ATA specifications. This |
1144 | is the default, unless the device has presets for \'\-F\' in the | |
1145 | device database. | |
832b75ed GG |
1146 | |
1147 | .I samsung | |
1148 | \- In some Samsung disks (example: model SV4012H Firmware Version: | |
e9583e0c GI |
1149 | RM100\-08) some of the two\- and four\-byte quantities in the SMART data |
1150 | structures are byte\-swapped (relative to the ATA specification). | |
832b75ed | 1151 | Enabling this option tells \fBsmartd\fP to evaluate these quantities |
e9583e0c GI |
1152 | in byte\-reversed order. Some signs that your disk needs this option |
1153 | are (1) no self\-test log printed, even though you have run self\-tests; | |
832b75ed GG |
1154 | (2) very large numbers of ATA errors reported in the ATA error log; |
1155 | (3) strange and impossible values for the ATA error log timestamps. | |
1156 | ||
1157 | .I samsung2 | |
e9583e0c GI |
1158 | \- In some Samsung disks the number of ATA errors reported is byte swapped. |
1159 | Enabling this option tells \fBsmartd\fP to evaluate this quantity in | |
1160 | byte\-reversed order. | |
832b75ed | 1161 | |
a37e7145 GG |
1162 | .I samsung3 |
1163 | \- Some Samsung disks (at least SP2514N with Firmware VF100\-37) report | |
1164 | a self\-test still in progress with 0% remaining when the test was already | |
1165 | completed. If this directive is specified, \fBsmartd\fP will not skip the | |
1166 | next scheduled self\-test (see Directive \'\-s\' above) in this case. | |
1167 | ||
e9583e0c | 1168 | Note that an explicit \'\-F\' Directive will over\-ride any preset |
832b75ed GG |
1169 | values for \'\-F\' (see the \'\-P\' option below). |
1170 | ||
1171 | ||
1172 | [Please see the \fBsmartctl \-F\fP command-line option.] | |
832b75ed | 1173 | .TP |
a23d5117 GI |
1174 | .B \-v ID,FORMAT[:BYTEORDER][,NAME] |
1175 | [ATA only] Sets a vendor\-specific raw value print FORMAT, an optional | |
1176 | BYTEORDER and an optional NAME for Attribute ID. | |
bed94269 GI |
1177 | This directive may be used multiple times. |
1178 | Please see \fBsmartctl -v\fP command-line option for further details. | |
832b75ed | 1179 | |
bed94269 | 1180 | The following arguments affect smartd warning output: |
832b75ed | 1181 | |
2127e193 GI |
1182 | .I 197,increasing |
1183 | \- Raw Attribute number 197 (Current Pending Sector Count) is not | |
bed94269 GI |
1184 | reset if uncorrectable sectors are reallocated. This sets \'-C 197+\' |
1185 | if no other \'-C\' directive is specified. | |
2127e193 GI |
1186 | |
1187 | .I 198,increasing | |
1188 | \- Raw Attribute number 198 (Offline Uncorrectable Sector Count) is not | |
bed94269 GI |
1189 | reset if uncorrectable sector are reallocated. This sets \'-U 198+\' |
1190 | if no other \'-U\' directive is specified. | |
832b75ed GG |
1191 | .TP |
1192 | .B \-P TYPE | |
1193 | Specifies whether | |
1194 | \fBsmartd\fP | |
1195 | should use any preset options that are available for this drive. The | |
1196 | valid arguments to this Directive are: | |
1197 | ||
1198 | .I use | |
1199 | \- use any presets that are available for this drive. This is the default. | |
1200 | ||
1201 | .I ignore | |
1202 | \- do not use any presets for this drive. | |
1203 | ||
1204 | .I show | |
1205 | \- show the presets listed for this drive in the database. | |
1206 | ||
1207 | .I showall | |
1208 | \- show the presets that are available for all drives and then exit. | |
1209 | ||

1213 | .TP |
1214 | .B \-a | |
1215 | Equivalent to turning on all of the following Directives: | |
1216 | .B \'\-H\' | |
1217 | to check the SMART health status, | |
1218 | .B \'\-f\' | |
1219 | to report failures of Usage (rather than Prefail) Attributes, | |
1220 | .B \'\-t\' | |
1221 | to track changes in both Prefailure and Usage Attributes, | |
1222 | .B \'\-l\ selftest\' | |
1223 | to report increases in the number of Self-Test Log errors, | |
1224 | .B \'\-l\ error\' | |
1225 | to report increases in the number of ATA errors, | |
1226 | .B \'\-C 197\' | |
1227 | to report nonzero values of the current pending sector count, and | |
1228 | .B \'\-U 198\' | |
1229 | to report nonzero values of the offline pending sector count. | |
1230 | ||
1231 | Note that \-a is the default for ATA devices. If none of these other | |
1232 | Directives is given, then \-a is assumed. | |
832b75ed GG |
1233 | .TP |
1234 | .B # | |
1235 | Comment: ignore the remainder of the line. | |
1236 | .TP | |
1237 | .B \e | |
1238 | Continuation character: if this is the last non-white or non-comment | |
1239 | character on a line, then the following line is a continuation of the current | |
1240 | one. | |
1241 | .PP | |
1242 | If you are not sure which Directives to use, I suggest experimenting | |
1243 | for a few minutes with | |
1244 | .B smartctl | |
1245 | to see what SMART functionality your disk(s) support(s). If you do | |
1246 | not like voluminous syslog messages, a good choice of | |
1247 | \fBsmartd\fP | |
1248 | configuration file Directives might be: | |
1249 | .nf | |
1250 | .B \-H \-l\ selftest \-l\ error \-f. | |
1251 | .fi | |
1252 | If you want more frequent information, use: | |
1253 | .B -a. | |

1256 | .B ADDITIONAL DETAILS ABOUT DEVICESCAN | |
7f0798ef | 1257 | If a non-comment entry in the configuration file is the text |
832b75ed GG |
1258 | string \fBDEVICESCAN\fP in capital letters, then \fBsmartd\fP will |
1259 | ignore any remaining lines in the configuration file, and will scan | |
1260 | for devices. | |
1261 | ||
7f0798ef GI |
1262 | [NEW EXPERIMENTAL SMARTD FEATURE] Configuration entries for devices |
1263 | not found by the platform\-specific device scanning may precede the | |
1264 | \fBDEVICESCAN\fP entry. | |
1265 | ||
832b75ed GG |
1266 | If \fBDEVICESCAN\fP is not followed by any Directives, then smartd |
1267 | will scan for both ATA and SCSI devices, and will monitor all possible | |
1268 | SMART properties of any devices that are found. | |
1269 | ||
1270 | \fBDEVICESCAN\fP may optionally be followed by any valid Directives, | |
1271 | which will be applied to all devices that are found in the scan. For | |
1272 | example | |
1273 | .nf | |
1274 | .B DEVICESCAN -m root@example.com | |
1275 | .fi | |
1276 | will scan for all devices, and then monitor them. It will send one | |
1277 | email warning per device for any problems that are found. | |
1278 | .nf | |
1279 | .B DEVICESCAN -d ata -m root@example.com | |
1280 | .fi | |
1281 | will do the same, but restricts the scan to ATA devices only. | |
1282 | .nf | |
1283 | .B DEVICESCAN -H -d ata -m root@example.com | |
1284 | .fi | |
1285 | will do the same, but only monitors the SMART health status of the | |
1286 | devices, (rather than the default \-a, which monitors all SMART | |
1287 | properties). | |
1288 | ||
1289 | .TP | |
1290 | .B EXAMPLES OF SHELL SCRIPTS FOR \'\-M exec\' | |
1291 | These are two examples of shell scripts that can be used with the \'\-M | |
1292 | exec PATH\' Directive described previously. The paths to these scripts | |
1293 | and similar executables is the PATH argument to the \'\-M exec PATH\' | |
1294 | Directive. | |
1295 | ||
1296 | Example 1: This script is for use with \'\-m ADDRESS -M exec PATH\'. It appends | |
1297 | the output of | |
1298 | .B smartctl -a | |
1299 | to the output of the smartd email warning message and sends it to ADDRESS. | |
1300 | ||
1301 | .nf | |
1302 | \fB | |
1303 | #! /bin/bash | |
1304 | ||
1305 | # Save the email message (STDIN) to a file: | |
1306 | cat > /root/msg | |
1307 | ||
1308 | # Append the output of smartctl -a to the message: | |
1309 | /usr/local/sbin/smartctl -a -d $SMART_DEVICETYPE $SMARTD_DEVICE >> /root/msg | |
1310 | ||
1311 | # Now email the message to the user at address ADD: | |
1312 | /bin/mail -s "$SMARTD_SUBJECT" $SMARTD_ADDRESS < /root/msg | |
1313 | \fP | |
1314 | .fi | |
1315 | ||
1316 | Example 2: This script is for use with \'\-m <nomailer> \-M exec | |
1317 | PATH\'. It warns all users about a disk problem, waits 30 seconds, and | |
1318 | then powers down the machine. | |
1319 | ||
1320 | .nf | |
1321 | \fB | |
1322 | #! /bin/bash | |
1323 | ||
1324 | # Warn all users of a problem | |
1325 | wall \'Problem detected with disk: \' "$SMARTD_DEVICESTRING" | |
1326 | wall \'Warning message from smartd is: \' "$SMARTD_MESSAGE" | |
1327 | wall \'Shutting down machine in 30 seconds... \' | |
1328 | ||
1329 | # Wait half a minute | |
1330 | sleep 30 | |
1331 | ||
1332 | # Power down the machine | |
1333 | /sbin/shutdown -hf now | |
1334 | \fP | |
1335 | .fi | |
1336 | ||
1337 | Some example scripts are distributed with the smartmontools package, | |
e9583e0c | 1338 | in /usr/local/share/doc/smartmontools/examplescripts/. |
832b75ed GG |
1339 | |
1340 | Please note that these scripts typically run as root, so any files | |
1341 | that they read/write should not be writable by ordinary users or | |
1342 | reside in directories like /tmp that are writable by ordinary users | |
1343 | and may expose your system to symlink attacks. | |
1344 | ||
1345 | As previously described, if the scripts write to STDOUT or STDERR, | |
1346 | this is interpreted as indicating that there was an internal error | |
1347 | within the script, and a snippet of STDOUT/STDERR is logged to SYSLOG. | |
1348 | The remainder is flushed. | |
