770 SMART RETURN STATUS. This makes allowance for SAT implementations
771 (e.g. via USB) that truncate the SCSI sense buffer to 18 bytes.
772 This truncation causes the SMART RETURN STATUS indication to be
773 half health or unhealthy. If the half indication is used, then

863 As a side effect, '-d usbcypress+TYPE' is also supported.
865 [CF] Add parser to read drive database from a file. Add '-B' option
866 to smartctl and smartd to specify database file name. File syntax
867 is identical to the C/C++ syntax used to inialize the internal

947 [CF] Add '-l gplog,ADDR[,FIRST[-LAST|+SIZE]]' and '-l smartlog,...'
948 to dump any log page accessible via GP or SMART read log commands.
950 [CF] Enhance '-l directory' to print both GP and SMART Log directories.
951 Add '-l directory[,gs]' modifiers to select GP or SMART log.
952 Enhance 'ata_cmd_in' parameter struct for 48-bit commands.

997 [BA] Fix smartctl bug: when running in silent mode '-q errorsonly'
998 do not print the Selective Self-test log. Any errors will
999 ALREADY appear in the SMART Self-test log.
1001 [CF] Add missing 'const' and other minor fixes to prevent gcc warnings.
1003 [OB] Added information message about supported Areca firmware versions.
1004 It's displayed in case the ATA device identification fails.
1006 [CF] Add configuration file for Doxygen.
1008 [CF] Add new object oriented interface to access ATA and SCSI devices.
1009 smartctl and smartd are modified to use the new classes in
1010 'dev_interface.{h,cpp}'. The template class in 'dev_tunnelled.h'
1011 is used in 'scsiata.cpp'. The code in 'dev_ata_cmd_set.{h,cpp}'
1012 supports migration from old function 'ata_command_interface()'.
1013 All existing 'os_*.cpp' modules should still work without any changes.
1014 The required adapter classes from 'dev_legacy.cpp' are automatically
1015 added by configure if necessary.
1017 [BA] Updated smartd and smartctl and smartd.conf man-page documentation
1018 to reflect support for Areca SATA RAID controller cards.
1020 [OB] Added support for Areca controllers to smartd. Extensive tests
1021 as well as documentation are still pending however.
1023 [OB] Implemented device locking for Areca controllers in smartctl
1025 [BA] Fixed selective self-test code. Data structure revision number
1026 may be != 1 if no selective self-test has ever been run. Host
1027 MUST set this value (at least at the first selective self-test
1028 instance). Thanks to Curtis Stevens of WDC for clarification.
1030 [MC] usbcypress autodetection
1032 [BA] Starting to commit Areca code. For now just smartctl.
1033 More changes and documentation coming soon.
1034 Need Areca firmware version 1.45 dated 10 June 2008 or later.
1035 May need changes in opening /dev/sg and file locking.
1036 Many thanks to Hank Wu!
1038 [CF] smartd: Fix too small name buffer for 3ware with >100 devices.
1040 [JH] now C++ Support for QNX Target
1041 already tested for QNX 6.3.2 on x86 and armle target
1043 [CF] Allow to set BUILD_INFO from make command line.
1045 [CF] Windows: Add MSVC8 support, remove MSVC6 project files.
1047 [MC] Add usbcypress device support for smartd.
1049 [CF] Add output of latest CVS date/time stamp to version info.
1050 New file cvsversion.h is generated by Makefile.
1051 Move formatting of version info to utility.cpp.
1053 [AR] Fix bug in 3ware node creation where nodes would be created
1054 then deleted, then recreated.
1056 [BA] Add missing CCISS cvs version tags to '-V' printouts.
1058 [TS] Linux: Ensure the 3ware device nodes are created with a correct
1059 SELinux security context.
1061 [AR] Add support for up to 128 devices on 3ware controllers.
1063 [CF] C++: Added new main() with exception handlers, replaced
1064 exit(x) with throw(x), removed global variable 'exitstatus'.
1065 Necessary for future changes, because exit() does not call
1068 [SS] FreeBSD: plug file descriptor leak in smartd (only happens with
1069 CISS devices). Reported by Vadim Ostranitsyn.
1071 [SS] FreeBSD: allow smartctl to interact with SCSI /dev/pass devices,
1072 thus enabling it to work with RAID controllers that expose disks
1073 via these devices. From scottl@ via FreeBSD ports.
1075 [MC] Add usbcypress device support for smartctl.
1077 [KS] INSTALL on Solaris: updated description to use C++ compiler.
1079 [KS] configure.in on Solaris: added options for Sun's compiler to
1080 suppress trivial warnings.
1082 [KS] configure.in on Solaris: added direction to search suitable
1083 libraries for getaddrinfo().
1085 [TS] smartd on Linux: remove forgotten return from deviceopen();
1086 SCSI device descriptors had the FD_CLOEXEC flag unset.
1088 [CF] Added 'const' to avoid warning on depreciated string constant
1089 to 'char *' conversion.
1091 [CF] autogen.sh: automake 1.10.1 is OK. Updated message texts.
1093 [BA] removed smartmontools.spec file (now in CVS Attic). This
1094 was not being used by RH or FC anyhow, and was out of
1095 date and not maintained.
1097 [BA] smartd on Linux: sets FD_CLOEXEC on the opened device file
1098 descriptor. The descriptor is otherwise leaked to other
1099 applications (mail sender) which may be considered a security
1100 risk and may result in AVC messages on SELinux-enabled systems.
1101 Thanks to: Tomá Smetana" <tsmetana@redhat.com>.
1103 [BA] smartd: when sending email, to gather information about the
1104 host for the body of the email, eliminate gethostbyname()
1105 in favor of the IPv6-friendly function getaddrinfo() if the
1106 latter is available. Info may be found here

1109 http://people.redhat.com/drepper/userapi-ipv6.html
1110 Thanks to: Tomá Smetana" <tsmetana@redhat.com>.
1112 Smartmontools developers: please check that smartd still LINKS
1113 properly on your systems.
1115 [BA] Fix ugly syntax bug in os_freebsd.cpp. How did this go
1116 undetected for so long??
1118 SMARTMONTOOLS STABLE RELEASE 5.38 2008/03/10
1120 [KS] Solaris/x86: modified configure.in for Sun's compiler.
1122 [BA] smartd.initd.in addition from Erwan Velu <erwan@seanodes.com>
1126 - On Linux, DEVICESCAN now automatically recognizes SATA devices
1127 behind libata, and SATA devices behind the Marvell driver, and
1128 treats them correctly.
1130 - On Linux, a '-d sat' or '-d marvell' is automatically added
1131 if libata or the marvell driver are recognized behind a SCSI
1134 [SS] (Maybe) fix attribute autosave in FreeBSD.
1136 [SS] Major NetBSD-specific bugfixes:
1137 - handle actual SCSI and ATA errors and not only ioctl() errors;
1138 - set up I/O request properly for AUTO_OFFLINE and AUTOSAVE commands (inspired by
1139 similar change in os_freebsd.cpp);
1140 - handle AUTO_OFFLINE and AUTOSAVE like STATUS_CHECK (like os_linux.cpp does).
1142 [GG] add kfreebsd gnu support to configure.in
1144 [BA] Fix auto-offline support in FreeBSD. Thanks to
1145 Cyrus Rahman <crahman@gmail.com> for the patch, and
1146 Eduard Martinescu for blessing it.
1148 [DG] smartd re-opens "SCSI" devices as ATA devices if a SAT layer is
1149 detected (smartd bug IMO). In Linux this upsets scsi generic
1150 device nodes (e.g. /dev/sg0). Detect the re-open in os_linux.cpp
1151 and set the O_RDWR flag (ATA uses the O_RDONLY flag).
1153 [CF] Drive database: Added Fujitsu MHW2 BH, Maxtor DiamondMax 17, 20, 21,
1154 Hitachi Travelstar 4K40, 5K120, 7K200, Deskstar 7K160, T7K500,

1165 [CF] Replaced 'head [-n] -1' by 'sed 1...' in autogen.sh to avoid
1168 [BA] Fixed autogen.sh script so that it uses 'grep -n 1' if 'grep -1'
1169 fails. Needed for Mac OS X 10.4. Uck.
1171 [CF] Windows: Added IOCTL_STORAGE_PREDICT_FAILURE. This allows access
1172 to ATA SMART status and data if other calls do not work.
1173 Thanks to Jaroslaw Kowalski for pointing this out.
1174 Added support to use this function without admin rights.
1176 [CF] Added ATA-8 revision 4c message text.
1178 [CF] Added compiler.h to cciss_ioctl.h header check to prevent
1181 [SS] DragonFly support added (using os_freebsd code; untested).
1183 [CF] smartctl: Fixed ATA identify byte swapping issue on big-endian
1184 platforms. This regression was introduced by the change for
1185 '-F swapid'. Thanks to Matthew Butch for bug report and testing.
1187 [DG] SAT/SCSI: Improve SAT error processing code. Aborted commands from
1188 ATA devices (typically because SMART was disabled) were not being
1191 [GG] smartd: wait for the pid file to show up, return an error if it doesn't
1193 [JH] fix bad return code (get STATUS) for QNX Part
1195 [JH] initial porting to QNX Neutrino 6.3.2
1196 need at this time a prerelease devb-eide driver and libcam.so.2
1197 only tested for X86 Target, but devb-eide and lobcam.so.2 available for X86/ARM
1198 the officional driver coming soon with the next QNX release
1199 create two new source files os_qnxnto.[c..h]
1201 [CF] smartd: Added option '-n, --no-fork' so that smartd works
1202 better with modern init methods. Thanks to Enrico Scholz
1203 for the patch from 2005-12-24.
1205 [CF] Windows: Improved ATA/SCSI device type detection and
1206 DEVICESCAN. This also fixes a regression in 3ware DEVICESCAN.
1208 [CF] smartd: Don't start self tests in first pass to avoid
1209 performance problems during boot.
1210 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=192591
1212 [CF] Fixed regression in SMART STATUS command on Win9x/ME.
1214 [BA] Fixed 3ware issue with new controllers. Documentation said
1215 that one could address up to 24 disks on a single controller,
1216 but in fact one was limited to 16 disks. This is now fixed:
1217 up to 32 disks can be addressed. Thanks to Adam Radford.
1219 NOTE1: I have patched the Linux and FreeBSD code but not
1220 modified the Win32 code (it already supports up to 32 disks).
1222 NOTE2: NOT TESTED ON LINUX. Do not use this on a production box!
1223 I will remove this NOTE2 as soon as some positive test
1224 reports are recieved.
1226 NOTE3: NOT TESTED ON FREEBSD. Do not use this on a production box!
1227 I will remove this NOTE3 as soon as some positive test
1228 reports are recieved.
1230 [CF] Windows installer: Added explorer drive menu, CMD window,
1231 UBCD4Win plugin, smartd service update and other minor
1234 [CF] Windows: Modified drive letter handling for explorer drive
1235 context menu: try SCSI if type is unknown, allow 'X:\.' syntax.

1256 [CF] Windows: Added IOCTL_SCSI_MINIPORT_*SMART* for commands not handled
1257 properly by SMART_IOCTL in disk class driver. This allows to use
1258 READ_LOG, WRITE_LOG and ABORT_SELFTEST even if the driver does not
1259 support ATA_PASS_THROUGH.
1261 [CF] Added ATA-8 revision 4, fixed WRITE LOG '-r ioctl' output.
1263 [BA] Updated smartctl and smartd so that they can be used with the latest
1264 3ware controllers which have 24 ports. Also updated docs.
1265 Thanks to Tim Bell at CERN.

1278 "the right way". Thanks Tejun!
1280 [CF] Added message text for ATA-7 self-test execution status 8
1281 ("... handling damage").
1283 [GG] cciss: support more than 16 disks (patch taken from
1284 http://cciss.sourceforge.net/smartmontools_cciss_more_than_16_drives.patch
1285 and adjusted for smartd)
1287 [DG] Solaris: [SCSI] add USCSI_RQENABLE flag to uscsi pass-through so

1296 [SS] Support CCISS on FreeBSD (kernel source is required until FreeBSD PR 109813
1299 [DG] SCSI/TAPE: some IBM tape drives don't react properly to a LOG
1300 SENSE with an allocation length of 4; work around for that case.
1302 [CF] Applied Guido's patch to fix CCISS LUN array bounds check
1303 (openSUSE bug #239956) and remove trailing spaces in
1306 [CF] Fixed 64-bit compilation issue in SCT status struct.

1324 temperature information and history table provided by
1325 SMART Command Transport (SCT) Feature Set.
1327 [CF] ATA: Added '-t selective,{redo,next,cont}' commands to
1328 perform tests based on the last ranges still stored on
1329 disk. Added 'N+SIZE' and 'N-max' format for LBA range
1332 [CF] Added Min/Max Temperature format used in attribute 190 of
1333 recent Maxtor disks (DiamondMax 20).
1335 [CF] Linux: Added check for <linux/cciss_ioctl.h> to allow build
1336 (without CCISS support) also when this file is missing.
1338 [CF] Added -F samsung3 option to correct firmware bug reporting
1339 completed self-tests as still in progress. Thanks to Manfred
1340 Schwarb for the patch.
1342 [CF] Added missing const specifiers (undetected by gcc 3.4 and 4.X)
1343 to fix compilation with gcc 2.X.
1345 [CF] Linux: compile fix for SuSE, config.h must be included first.
1347 smartmontools 5.37 Experimental Release
1349 [CF] Windows: Added alternate method for (limited) monitoring of
1350 3ware controllers by parsing the output of CLI or 3DM.
1351 Either "tw_cli" can be run internally ("/dev/tw_cli/cx/py"),
1352 or data can be read from standard input ("/dev/tw_cli/stdin")
1353 or clipboard ("/dev/tw_cli/clip").
1355 [DG] Remove linux specific libata detect code; rely on general SAT
1356 code. smartd should now generate a sensible log message for
1357 ATA devices behind a SAT layer on all architectures.
1359 [BA] Increased max line length MAXLINELEN for /etc/smartd.conf from
1360 128 to 256 characters to handle long strings in
1361 /dev/disk/by-id. Thanks to Martin Krafft.
1363 [PW] Drive database: added missing drives from Seagate Momentus 5400.2
1366 [BA] Finished Christian's fix (next item below) by removing
1367 LINUX_86_64 hack from configure.in.
1369 [CF] Fixed inclusion of PRI?64 macros from inttypes.h.
1371 [CF] Windows: Added WRITE LOG to support selective self tests.

1390 of linux/compiler.h and include in os_linux.h if
1391 present. Thanks to SB.
1393 [BA] smartd: DEVICESCAN will now pick up SATA/SAT devices
1394 attached to a SCSI device tree via SAT translation.
1395 Note: this is a bit of a hack. I will document it once
1396 I know if this needs to be Linux only or can have more
1397 general application.
1399 [BA] Added a couple SATA commands to the tables -- thanks DG!
1400 Phil -- how about going through and systematically adding
1401 these new commands to atacmdnames.cpp?
1403 [BA] Linux s86_64: get rid of some compiler warnings on
1404 x86_64 Linux systems.
1406 [CF] Windows: Added missing support for READ_LOG, ABORT_SELFTEST
1407 and CHECK_POWER_STATE for 3ware 9000 controllers. Thanks to

1468 [CF] Removed old *.c files (now in CVS Attic).
1470 [CF] Added changes for C++ to platform independent and Windows
1473 [BA] Tagged last .c Version with PRE_MOVE_TO_CPP. Copied *.c,v
1474 to *.cpp,v in CVS repository to preserve history of source
1475 files. Removed sm5_Darwin repository.
1477 [CF] smartctl: Added -n option to skip checks when disk is in
1480 [CF] Windows: Added alternate system call for power state check
1481 because the PASS THROUGH calls may spin up the disk.
1483 [CF] smartd: Modified power state logging to report state changes
1484 instead of standby condition.
1486 [CF] smartd: Ignore -n directive on scheduled self tests.
1488 [DG] [SCSI] Make start stop cycle counter log page decoding
1491 [DG] Modify smartctl (but not smartd) to detect probable ATA
1492 devices behind a SAT layer. In the absence of an explicit
1493 device type, change to device type 'sat'.
1495 [DG] Add indication that controller (device) type has been
1496 explicitly set. Preparation for automatic detection of
1497 'sat' device type unless user specifies a device type.
1499 [SS] NetBSD: Deliver strings from ata_identify_device properly
1500 on little- and big-endian platforms.
1502 [BA] Added published ANSI ATA-7 spec to list of recognized ATA
1505 [BA] Code janitor: added missing header strings for '-V' option.
1507 [DG] [SATA] Extend 'sat' device type to allow either 12 or 16 byte
1508 variant of the SAT ATA PASS THROUGH SCSI command. Syntax is
1509 '-d sat,<n>' where <n> can be 0, 12 or 16 . The ',<n>' part
1510 is optional. Currently defaults to 16 byte variant but that
1511 could be made platform or even device dependent.
1513 [DG] [SATA] Add new 'sat' device type for SATA disks behind a
1514 SCSI to ATA Translation (SAT) Layer (SATL). Uses the ATA
1515 PASS THROUGH (16) SCSI command thence the generic SCSI
1516 passthrough for each platform.
1518 [CF] Windows: Added script and make targets to create installer
1519 with NSIS (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/)
1521 [CF] Updated hostname and links for new SourceForge CVS service.
1523 [CF] smartd: Added '-W' directive to track temperature changes
1524 and warn if temperature limits are reached.
1526 [CF] Windows: Added IOCTL_ATA_PASS_THROUGH (Win2003, XP SP2)
1527 for commands unsupported by SMART_IOCTL. Added device
1528 specific options to select subset and ordering of the ATA
1529 IOCTLs actually used. These options are specified as
1530 modifiers of the device name (/dev/hd[a-j]:[saic]+)
1532 [CF] Windows: Added support for drives 4-7 (/dev/hd[e-h]) via
1533 SMARTVSE.VXD on Win9x/ME. Thanks to Dariusz Rzonca for
1536 [DG] [SCSI/SATA linux] from lk 2.6.17 SATA disk identification in
1537 libata will change. Expand LibAta detection to see old
1538 identifier and new variant (VPD page 0x83).
1540 [BA] Identified Attribute 190 for Western Digital disks. This
1541 stores temperature in Celsius, just like Attribute 194.
1542 But it has a failure threshold set to correspond to the
1543 maximum design operating temperature of the disk, which
1544 is 55 Celsius on the WD800JD drives that I studied.
1545 So if this Attribute has 'failed
1546 in the past' this means that the maximum disk operating
1547 temperature has been exceeded.
1549 [GK] Darwin: Add support for AHCI drivers found in Intel-based Macs.
1551 smartmontools 5.36 Stable Release
1553 [BA] Linux: smartd/smartctl issue syntax hints to user if 3ware
1554 disk controller present with EITHER 3ware OR AMCC vendor
1555 name, and user syntax incorrect.
1557 [BA] Update copyright dates to 2006.
1559 [DG] [SCSI] Loosen sanity check on Seagate/Hitachi factory information
1560 log page so it is not skipped on recent Seagate SCSI disks.
1562 [CF] Added command 'smartd -q showtests' to list test schedules.
1564 [CF] Added command 'smartctl -P showall MODEL [FIRMWARE]' to list
1565 database entries for specific drives and firmware.
1567 [PW] Automatically set -v 9,minutes and -v 194,unknown for Maxtor
1568 DiamondMax D540X-4G drives.
1570 [DG] [SCSI] suppress various outputs when data fails sanity checks.
1571 Correct 'last n error events' log page indexing.
1573 [DG] [SCSI] changed smartctl exit status to reflect any problems in
1574 the most recent 20 self test logs [Leandro Santi]
1576 [DG] [SCSI] Fix process return value when scsiGetSmartData() fails
1577 in smartctl [Leandro Santi]
1579 [BA] Updated docs and error message to reflect Linux libata
1580 support for smartmontools starting with the 2.6.15 kernel
1581 series. Also init script support for the 'tinysofa' release.
1583 [DG] [SCSI] Mask dpofua bit when changing mode pages. Fix failure
1584 of 'smartctl -l error'.
1586 [EM] Fixed a problem with FreeBSD and 3Ware 'twe' devices
1588 [CF] Fixed a regexp in knowndrives table, added regexp syntax check
1589 via 'smartctl -P showall'.
1591 [CF] Cygwin & Windows: Fixed memory leak in function calling
1592 IOCTL_IDE_PASS_THROUGH. Thanks to Fred Schmidt for the problem
1595 [CF] Cygwin: added cygrunsrv support and commands "install", "remove"
1596 and "status" to smartd.initd.
1598 [SS] Fix runtime problems on big-engian NetBSD platforms (patch provided
1601 [CF] Cygwin smartd: Open smartd.conf in textmode to allow use of
1604 [CF] Cygwin smartd: Added option '--service' to allow smartd running
1605 as windows service via cygrunsrv. Useful in conjunction with new
1606 syslogd support added in Cygwin 1.5.15.
1608 [CF] Windows: Added patch to avoid output of non-ascii timezone names.
1610 [EM] Incorporate various patches to provide TWE support and support for
1611 multiple 3Ware cards, Power Check Support, and FreeBSD 6.x support.
1612 Thanks to Rudolf Cejka, Frank Behrens, and Jung-uk Kim.
1614 [DG] Silence gcc 4.0.1 compile warning concerning the difference in
1615 "signedness" in pointer assignments. Changes to SCSI code
1618 [PW] Additions to knowndrives table: added missing drive from Quantum

1633 added Maxtor DiamondMax 17 VL series, added Hitachi Deskstar 7K80
1634 series, and added Hitachi Deskstar 7K400 series.
1636 [CF] Windows: Fixed unsupported 'smartctl -X' on Win2000/XP by using
1637 IOCTL_IDE_PASS_THROUGH instead.
1639 smartmontools 5.34 Stable Release [NOTE: never officially released]
1641 [CF] Cygwin & Windows smartd: Increased SCSI DEVICESCAN range
1642 from ASPI adapter 0-3 to 0-9. Added diagnostic messages.
1644 [CF] Windows smartd: Added ability to run .bat files via '-M exec'
1647 [CF] Cygwin smartd: Added FreeConsole() after fork() to avoid hang
1648 of terminated shell console window.
1650 [DG] [SCSI] Add code so 'smartctl -A' outputs the number of elements
1651 in the grown defect list. When this number is increasing a
1652 disk has problems. N.B. Similar logic should be added to smartd.
1654 [CF] Windows smartd: Fixed event handling to allow start of another
1655 smartd process when service is already running. Useful for testing
1656 service configuration changes in debug mode.
1658 [PW] Added following drives to knowndrives table: Western Digital Raptor
1659 family, Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 family, Maxtor DiamondMax 2160

1663 Western Digital Caviar AC14300.
1665 [PW] Added missing Fujitsu MHTxxxxAT and Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 drives
1666 to knowndrives table.
1668 [PW] Added QUANTUM FIREBALLP LM10.2 to knowndrives table. Thanks to
1669 Mike Fleetwood for submitting the patch.
1671 [KS] Solaris/SPARC: fixed not to disable automatic offline test and
1672 automatic save attributes incorrectly. Thanks to Roy Badami.
1674 [BA] Linux: smartd init script now recognizes 'trustix' distro.
1676 [DG] [SCSI] Medium and hardware errors were slipping through
1677 unreported. Fix linux SCSI sense reporting via SG_IO ioctl.
1679 [DG] [SCSI] Change lba of first failure in selftest output to
1680 decimal (was hex) to conform with ATA output.
1682 [GK] smartd: Detect most self-test failures even if the hour counter
1685 [BA] smartctl: list 'marvell' as option if user give invalid
1688 [CF] Windows: fixed SCSI timeout handling to allow long timeouts
1691 [CF] Fixed buffer overflow issues in printone() and safe_vsnprintf()
1692 which results in crash on -V option (at least on Windows).
1694 [DG] [SCSI] Add explicit timeouts to INQUIRY and REQUEST SENSE (that
1695 were missed in an earlier patch). Could have impacted freebsd.
1697 [DG] When linux detects a sata_via_libata disk suggest that user try
1698 '-d ata' (rather then '-d libata). Anticipate kernel change.
1700 [YD] Added OS/2 and eComStation platform support.
1702 [PW] Added Seagate U4 family, Fujitsu MHJ and MHK families, Seagate
1703 Barracuda 5400.1, QUANTUM FIREBALLP KX27.3, QUANTUM FIREBALLP KA10.1,
1704 and ExcelStor J340 to knowndrives table.
1706 [DG] [SCSI] After report of Hitachi IC35L073UCDY10 disks locking up
1707 on log page 0x7 (last n error events), check log page (and some
1708 others) is supported (via log page 0x0) before probing.
1710 [CF] Added safe_v?snprintf() for platforms using v?snprintf()
1711 with non standard behaviour on overflow (Windows, old Linux)
1713 [CF] smartd: Added message if check power mode spins up disk.
1715 [CF] Windows: Added support for READ_LOG on WinNT4 using undocumented
1716 pseudo SCSI command via IOCTL_SCSI_PASS_THROUGH.
1718 [CF] smartd: Added ',q' option for '-n' directive to suppress 'skipping
1719 checks' log message. This prevents a laptop disk from spinning up
1720 due to this message. Thanks to Rob MacLachlan and Manfred Schwarb
1721 for pointing out problem & solution.
1723 [CF] Windows: Added function get_os_version_str() to show OS flavor in
1726 [CF] Windows: Added function ata_identify_is_cached() to check for outdated
1727 SMART enabled bit in identify data.
1729 [CF] Windows: Added fix to prevent linkage of smartd specific win32 modules
1732 [PW] Added Fujitsu MPG3153AH, Hitachi Endurastar J4K20/N4K20 (formerly
1733 DK23FA-20J), Seagate Momentus family, and Maxtor Fireball 3 family
1734 to knowndrives table.
1736 [PW] Added missing Maxtor DiamondMax 16, Seagate Barracuda ATA IV, and
1737 Western Digital Caviar WDxxxAA/WDxxxBA drives to knowndrives table.
1739 [CF] Windows: Added ATA check power mode for smartd -n directive.
1741 [CF] Windows: Fixed use of new service status flag which causes hang
1742 of smartd service on WinNT4.
1744 [CF] Windows: Fixed error checking of IOCTL_IDE_PASS_THROUGH (used
1745 for READ_LOG on 2000/XP). Added some diagnostic messages on
1746 -r ataioctl[,2]. Thanks to Manfred Schwarb for bug report and testing.
1748 [BA] Fixed code bug that made it impossible to enable SMART on
1749 disks with failing health status. This would happen if the
1750 os_*.c author made STATUS and STATUS_CHECK work the same way.
1751 I have corrected this at a higher level; we now handle the
1752 case where STATUS and STATUS_CHECK are identical without
1755 [LW] Make os_linux.c/marvell_command_interface() always return 0 on STATUS.
1756 Needed for a disk having bad SMART status.
1758 [CF] smartctl: Added drive family printing.
1760 [CF] autogen.sh: Allow automake 1.9, added message if automake
1763 [BA] smartctl: use locale-specific separators for printing disk
1764 capacity. Also use AC_CHECK_HEADERS not AC_CHECK_HEADER in
1767 [BA] clean-up of #include structure so that -V options to smartd
1768 and smartctl work correctly. Please, don't #include header
1769 files into other header files.
1771 smartmontools 5.33 Experimental Release
1773 [BA] smartctl: ATA disks, if SMART ATTRIBUTE THRESHOLDS page has ID
1774 errors with some Attributes having NULL IDs, print Attribute
1775 info anyway (but issuing a warning to the user).
1777 [DG] [SCSI] Decode Last n error events log page; decode track following
1778 and positioning errors [Hitachi]
1780 [EM] FreeBSD: another tweak, __packed__ introduced in Version 5.0040
1782 [EM] Cleaner tweak of fixes for FreeBSD 4.x.
1784 [EM] Fix compilation errors under FreeBSD 4.x, as it is still using
1787 [EM] Remove 3ware/FreeBSD specific files and just include pieces we need
1789 [DG] Add logic in smartd to detect 3ware, Marvell controllers and SATA
1790 disks behind an ATA-SCSI simulator (in Linux). If specific device
1791 types are not given and they are picked in a general SCSI device
1792 scan then warn and skip.
1794 [GG] insert correct path to smartd into smartd's init script
1796 [BA] Changed all default paths in documentation to reflect /usr/local as
1797 default path prefix. This affects on-line man pages, primarily.
1799 [DS] Added support for OpenBSD
1801 [BA] Added another environment variable SMART_FULLMESSAGE set by
1802 the smartd mailing feature, and modified examplescripts/Example1
1805 [BA] Fixed potentially misleading messages of the form:
1808 [DG] emit warning if SATA disk detected using libata in Linux; then exit
1810 [PW] Added Seagate U10 family, Hitachi Travelstar 7K60, Fujitsu MHR2020AT,
1811 and QUANTUM FIREBALLP AS20.5 to knowndrives table.
1813 [DG] Detect 3ware and Marvell controllers from SCSI INQUIRY vendor string
1814 and suggest usage of appropriate '-d' argument in smartctl.
1816 [LW] Tested the RELEASE_5_33_WITH_MARVELL_SUPPORT branch on
1817 actual Marvell 88SX5041 hardware, with success.
1820 [BA] Fixed nasty DEVICESCAN bug
1822 [BA] Checked in RELEASE_5_33_WITH_MARVELL_SUPPORT branch with
1823 some Marvell support.
1825 [BA] Additional modifications of Ed's controller scheme. Fixed
1826 broken 3ware support under linux, problems with scanning
1827 devices in smartd, and other small problems.
1829 [CF] Added make targets to build formatted man pages (htmlman, txtman),
1830 Windows distribution (dist-win32) and MSVC6 config.h (config-vc6).
1832 [EM] Minor change to FreeBSD inclusion of 'twe' include files. Add
1833 code to check if they exising in /usr/include/sys to use those
1834 in preference to ones added here
1836 [EM] Very preliminary support attempt for 3Ware controllers under
1837 FreeBSD. Also, switched 'escalade_type/escalade_port' to
1838 'controler_type/controller_port' and moved away from
1839 'tryata/tryscsi' to using new 'controller*' variables to
1840 determine which controller type (ATA/SCSI/3Ware) to use.
1842 [GK] Added initscript support for Darwin.
1844 [CF] Windows smartd: Added ability to run smartd as a windows service,
1845 including new commands "smartd install ..." and "smartd remove"
1846 to install and remove the service registry entry.
1848 [BA] smartd: warn user if -s regexp regular expression contains
1849 characters other than 0123456789.*()|+?[-]{}:=SLCO since such
1850 characters are 'suspicous' and may indicate a poorly formed
1851 regexp. Extended regular expression gurus: can this list be
1854 [CF] Fixed bug in Windows smartd: Missing close of config file when
1855 configuration is reloaded by smartd daemon.
1857 [CF] Windows smartd: Added mail warning feature using the "Blat"
1858 (http://blat.sourceforge.net/) mailer as a default.
1860 [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 5120 Ultra ATA 33 series and TOSHIBA
1861 MK3017GAP to knowndrives table.
1863 [CF] Added fixes to build smartmontools on old Linux systems
1864 (libc < 6, Kernel 2.0.x).
1866 [BA] Added ATA minor version identity strings for latest ATA specification
1867 updates: ATA/ATAPI-7 T13 1532D revision 4a and ATA/ATAPI-6 published,
1868 ANSI INCITS 361-2002
1870 [PW] Added Hitachi Travelstar 5K80 family and Fujitsu MHTxxxxAH family to
1873 [EM] Fix up compilation under FreeBSD < 5.x
1875 [PW] Added QUANTUM FIREBALL EX3.2A and missing Western Digital Caviar SE
1876 drives to knowndrives table.
1878 [BA] Modified Hitachi Travelstar 80GN family regexp in drive database.
1879 Thanks to [GK/CF] for problem & solution.
1881 [GK] Added os_darwin.[ch]
1883 [PW] Added the following drives to the knowndrives table: IBM Travelstar
1884 48GH, 30GN, and 15GN family; IBM Deskstar 37GP and 34GXP family;
1885 Western Digital WDC WD272AA; Maxtor DiamondMax D540X-4D family;
1886 TOSHIBA MK2016GAP, MK2018GAP, MK2018GAS, MK2023GAS; and
1887 QUANTUM FIREBALL ST3.2A
1889 [BA] smartd/smarctl now print build HOST/OS information as part
1890 of startup slogan. This should make it slightly easier to
1891 read bug reports from users.
1893 [RZ] Fixed the DEVICESCAN to do what it was supposed to do - give
1894 error message unless scanning is in progress.
1896 [BA] Update documentation to describe 3ware character devices. Better
1897 error detection for missing/malfunctioning devices behind 3ware
1898 controllers. Now pack 3ware ioctl structures explicitly.
1900 [BA] For ATA devices that support LBA mode, print capacity as part
1903 [RZ] Made DEVICESCAN quiet about non-existing devices unless debug
1906 [DG] treat "unit attention" SCSI warning as try again in some contexts
1907 (test unit ready and mode sense)
1909 [BA] on drives that store max/min rather than min/max, get order
1910 correct in printing temp.
1912 [BA] fixed typo in 'smartctl -h' output. Thanks to Gabor Z. Papp.
1914 [BA] linux: clean-up to 3ware/AMCC support; dynamically create
1915 or fix /dev/tw[ae][0-15] device node entries if they don't
1916 exist or are incorrect. One can now use the character devices
1917 /dev/twe[0-15] OR /dev/sd? for 3ware 6000/7000/8000 series
1918 cards. One must use /dev/twa[0-15] for 3ware 9000 series cards.
1919 Note that selective self-tests now work via /dev/tw[ae] devices.
1920 Next step: documentation.
1922 [BA] linux: experimental "support" for 3ware/AMCC 9000 series
1923 controllers that use the 3w-9xxx driver. This will be in a
1924 state of flux for a few days. Note that this requires the
1925 character interface /dev/twa[0-15].
1927 [DG] linux: extend general SCSI OS interface to use the SG_IO ioctl. If
1928 not available, use the older SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND ioctl.
1930 [KS] Solaris/x86: fixed system identification problem in configure
1931 script. Thanks to Stuart Swales.
1935 [BA] Update link to revised/updated IBM Deskstar Firmware
1937 [CF] Cygwin & Windows: Added missing ASPI manager initialization
1938 with GetASPI32SupportInfo(). Thanks to Nikolai SAOUKH for pointing
1939 this out and providing a patch.
1941 [BA] modified smartd init script to work on whitebox (thanks to
1944 [BA] removed (reverted) additional Attribute definitions from
1945 http://smart.friko.pl/attributes.php. All (or most?) of these
1946 appear to be return code values for the WD Digital Life Guard Utility.
1948 [PW] Added Seagate Medalist 17242, 13032, 10232, 8422, and 4312 to
1949 knowndrives table. Added missing Seagate U Series 5 drives.
1951 [PW] Added the following QUANTUM models to knowndrives table:
1952 FIREBALL EX6.4A, FIREBALLP AS10.2, FIREBALLP AS40.0, FIREBALL CR4.3A,
1953 FIREBALLP LM15, FIREBALLP LM30, and FIREBALLlct20 30
1955 [PW] Added missing Western Digital Protege drives to knowndrives table.
1957 [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax 40 ATA 66 series and DiamondMax 40 VL Ultra
1958 ATA 100 series to knowndrives table.
1960 [PW] Added the following Hitachi/IBM drives to knowndrives table:
1961 HITACHI_DK14FA-20B, Travelstar 40GNX series, Travelstar 4LP series,
1962 and Travelstar DK23XXB series. Added the missing Travelstar 80GN
1965 [PW] Added Fujitsu MPB series and MPG series to knowndrives table. Added
1966 the missing Fujitsu MHSxxxxAT drives.
1968 [KS] Solaris: added workaround for dynamic change of time-zone.
1970 [KS] Solaris: fixed problem that autogen.sh cannot detect absence of
1973 [BA] smartd: added time-zone bug information to man page.
1974 Reverted CF code for _WIN32 case.
1976 [CF] Cygwin & Windows: Added better error messages on IDE/ATA device
1979 [BA] added additional Attribute definitions from
1980 http://smart.friko.pl/attributes.php
1982 [BA] smartd: reworked TimeZone bug workaround so it is only invoked
1983 for glibc. Note: this might not be right -- a similar bug may
1984 exist in other platform's libcs.
1986 [DG] SCSI smartmontools documentation updated [2004/5/6]. See:
1987 http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/smartmontools_scsi.html
1989 [CF] Windows: Fixed reset of TZ=GMT in glibc timezone bug workaround.
1993 [DG] move SCSI device temperature and start-stop log page output
1994 (smartctl) into --attributes section (was in --info section).
1996 [GG] change default installation location to /usr/local
1998 [CF] Cygwin smartd: Fixed crash on access of SCSI devices after fork().
2000 [PW] Added TOSHIBA MK4018GAS and the following Maxtor drive families
2001 to knowndrives table: DiamondMax D540X-4G, Fireball 541DX,
2002 DiamondMax 3400 Ultra ATA, DiamondMax Plus 6800 Ultra ATA 66.
2004 [PW] Added missing Maxtor DiamondMax 16, DiamondMax D540X-4K, and
2005 DiamondMax Plus 45 Ulta ATA 100 drives to knowndrives table.
2007 [PW] Added ExcelStor J240, Hitachi Travelstar 80GN family, Fujitsu
2008 MHTxxxxAT family, and IBM Deskstar 25GP and 22GXP families to
2011 [CF] Cygwin smartd: Added workaround for missing SIGQUIT via keyboard:
2012 To exit smartd in debug mode, type CONTROL-C twice.
2014 [BA] smartctl: printing of the selective self-test log is now
2015 controlled by a new option: -l selective
2017 [BA] Added entries for Samsung firmware versions -25 to -39 based
2018 on latest info about firmware bug fixes.
2020 [PW] Added Seagate U Series X family, Seagate U8 family, and Seagate
2021 Medalist 8641 family to knowndrives table.
2023 [CF] smartd: Added exit values 5/6 for missing/unreadable config file.
2025 [BA] smartd: now monitor the Current Pending Sector count (Attribute 197)
2026 and the Offline Pending Sector Count (Attribute 198). Log a
2027 warning (and send an email, if so configured) if the raw count
2028 is nonzero. These are controlled by new Directives: -C and -U.
2029 Currently they are enabled by default.
2031 [CF] Added option -c FILE, --configfile=FILE to smartd to specify
2032 an alternate configuration FILE or '-' for standard input.
2034 [KS] configure.in now searches for -lnsl and -lsocket for Solaris.
2036 [CF] Win32/native smartd: Added thread to combine several syslog output
2037 lines into one single event log entry.
2039 [CF] Win32 smartd: Added DEVICESCAN for SCSI/ASPI devices.
2041 [GG] Use gethostbyname() the get the DNS domain since getdomainname()
2042 returns the NIS domain when sending mails from smartd.
2044 [GG] smartd.init.in: pass smartd_opts to smartd on startup, read distribution
2045 specific configuration files if found
2047 [SS] smartctl: added NetBSD support for Selective Self-tests.
2049 [BA] smartd.conf example configuration file now has all examples
2050 commented out except for 'DEVICESCAN'.
2052 [CF] Win32/native smartd: Added ability to display warning "emails"
2053 as message box by "-m msgbox" directive. With "-m sysmsgbox",
2054 a system modal (always on top) message box is shown.
2056 [BA] smartctl: printing of self-test log for disks that support
2057 Selective self-testing now shows the status of the (optional)
2058 read-scan after the selective self test. Also, changed format
2059 in printing self-test log to print failing LBA in base 10 not
2060 base 16 (more compatible with kernel error messages). Also,
2061 in printing SMART error log, print timestamps in format
2062 days+hours+minutes+seconds.
2064 [CF] Win32 smartd: Added ability to log to stdout/stderr
2065 (-l local1/2). Toggling debug console still works
2066 if stdout is redirected.
2068 [BA] smartctl: selective self-test log, print current status
2069 in a more detailed way. Allow writing of selective self-test
2070 log provided that no other self-test is underway.
2072 [BA] Linux: eliminated dependency on kernel tree hdreg.h.
2074 [BA] smartctl: -l selftest option now prints Selective self-test
2075 log in addition to the normal self-test log.
2076 Added additional options (-t pending, -t afterselect) to
2077 control remaining Selective Self-test capabilities. Tested
2078 with several Maxtor disks. Modified error message printing
2079 so that munged option messages print at the end not the
2082 [CF] Added daemon support to Win32 native version of smartd.
2083 The daemon can be controlled by commands similar to initd
2084 scripts: "smartd status|stop|reload|restart|sigusr1|sigusr2".
2086 [CF] Added minor support for option "-l local[0-7]" to Win32 native
2087 (not Cygwin) version of smartd. If specified, the log output
2088 is written to file "./smartd[1-7]?.log" instead of event log.
2090 [BA] Added Selective Self-test to smartctl (-t selective,M-N).
2091 Currently only supported under Linux; Solaris, NetBSD, FreeBSD
2092 and Windows developers must add WRITE LOG functionality to
2095 [BA] Added workaround for an annoying glibc bug: if you change
2096 timezones, (eg, flying with a laptop from USA to Europe)
2097 localtime() does not notice this in a running
2098 executable, so time that appears in the system log (syslog!)
2099 will be incorrect. See
2100 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=48184
2101 for additional examples of this bug.
2103 [DG] Set explicit timeouts for SCSI commands (most default to 6 seconds).
2104 Previously a 0 second timeout was meant to be interpreted as a
2105 default timeout but the FreeBSD port had a problem in this area.
2107 [CF] Fixed un-thread-safe exit signal handler for Win32
2109 [BA] Fixed un-thread-safe exit signal handler pointed out
2112 [BA] Changed configure script to eliminate warnings under
2113 Solaris from sys/int_type.h conflicts with int64.h
2114 Added header files for umask to smartd.c.
2116 [BA] Man page format change from Werner LEMBERG. " " changed to \&
2118 [CF] Added os_win32/syslogevt.* event message file tool for Win32
2119 smartd (native+cygwin). May also be useful for other cygwin
2120 programs writing to syslog().
2122 [CF] Added Win32 version of smartd
2124 [CF] Merged RELEASE_5_26_WIN32_BRANCH
2126 [BA] Made some changes to man page markup suggested by
2127 Richard Verhoeven to work around bugs in man2html.
2128 Tested not to break anything under Linux and Solaris.
2130 [CF] Moved PrintOut() from utility.c to smart{ctl,d}.c to avoid
2131 syslog() output of smartctl.
2133 [BA] Grew worried that some time-zone names could be very long (eg,
2134 Mitteleuropaische Zeit) and put date string lengths into a
2135 single macro in utility.c
2137 [EM] Updated os_freebsd.c to handle older versions of FreeBSD in a
2138 more appropriate/obvious fashion.
2140 [EM] Modified autogen.sh as FreeBSD installs automake 1.7 as
2141 'automake17' and NOT 'automake-1.7'
2145 [PW] Added QUANTUM FIREBALLlct15 30, QUANTUM FIREBALLlct20 40, and
2146 Maxtor 6Y060P0 (DiamondMax Plus 9 60GB) to knowndrives table.
2148 [PW] Added Maxtor MaXLine II family to knowndrives table (thanks to
2149 Brett Russ for submitting the patch).
2151 [BA] Added remaining read/write commands to detailed list of
2152 error log commands that have text descriptions of problem
2153 printed. For commands that support it, print number of failed
2154 sectors at problem LBA.
2156 [BA] Made SuSE section of smartd init script more SuSE 9 compatible.
2157 Thanks to Hans-Peter Jansen.
2159 [CF] Windows smartd: Added IDE/ATA device scan
2160 Added windows device names to smartctl.8.in, smartd.8.in
2162 [BA] smartctl/smartd: user-provided '-F samsung' and '-F samsung2'
2163 command line options/Directives did NOT over-ride preset values
2164 unless user specified '-P ignore'. Now they will always over-ride
2165 preset values from the database.
2167 [BA] Added error decoding for a few more READ and WRITE commands.
2169 [PW] Added Maxtor MaXLine Plus II, Western Digital Caviar SE (Serial ATA)
2170 series, Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 series, and Ultra ATA 66 models of
2171 the Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 40 series to knowndrives table.
2173 [BA] Added Maxtor Diamondmax 250 GB drives to database. Note that
2174 these model numbers are not listed in Maxtor documentation, but
2177 [BA] Removed the 'contact developers' phrase from the Samsung disk
2180 [PW] Added TOSHIBA MK2017GAP, IBM Deskstar 14GXP and 16GP series,
2181 Fujitsu MPC series, Seagate Barracuda ATA III family, and missing
2182 Seagate Barracuda U Series drives to knowndrives table
2184 [BA] smartd: wrong loglevel for message: Configuration file
2185 /etc/smartd.conf parsed. Changed to LOG_INFO from LOG_CRIT.
2186 Thanks to Emmanuel CHANTREAU for the report.
2188 [CF] Checked in development version of windows code base.
2190 smartmontools 5.29 (note: there was NO 5.28 release)
2192 [BA] smartd: configure script did not set correct directory to search for
2193 smartd.conf based on --prefix argument to ./configure. Thanks to
2194 GG for identifying the problem and fix.
2196 [BA] make clean now removes man pages (generated from *.in) files as well
2199 [EM] Correct copying of sense data in FreeBSD SCSI implementation. Thanks
2200 to Sergey Svishchev for noticing the bug.
2202 [BA] On solaris, wrong warning message if no ATA support. Warning message
2203 concerns 3ware controller, not ATA.
2205 [SS] Added SCSI support for NetBSD.
2207 [BA] on big-endian linux machines, fixed interpretation of HDIO_GET_IDENTITY
2208 to correctly identify ATAPI bit (was byte swapped). This should
2209 eliminate some SYSLOG noise if user queries a packet device (eg, CD
2212 [PW] Removed warning for IBM Deskstar 40GV & 75GXP series drives with
2213 A5AA/A6AA firmware. Thanks to Gerald Schnabel.
2215 [PW] Added Toshiba TOS MK3019GAXB SUN30G to knowndrives table
2217 [PW] Added Western Digital Caviar AC12500, AC24300, AC25100, AC36400,
2218 and AC38400 to knowndrives table
2220 [BA] When printing ATA error log, print the LBA at which READ
2221 or WRITE commands failed.
2223 [BA] Changed syntax of error message in smartctl
2225 [BA] Added versioning info (-V options to smartd/smartctl) for
2230 [KS] Added ATA/IDE support for Solaris/SPARC (ATA/IDE not yet for
2233 [BA] 3ware controllers: documented that one can monitor any of the
2234 physical disks from any of the 3ware /dev/sd? logical devices.
2235 Better warnings if querying a disk that does not exist.
2237 [PW] Added Hitachi Travelstar DK23DA series, Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 40
2238 series, Western Digital Caviar WDxxxAA, WDxxxBA, and WDxxxAB series
2239 to knowndrives table
2241 [BA] missing 'pragma pack' on ATA IDENTIFY DEVICE structure may have
2242 caused odd or incorrect results on 64-bit machines.
2244 [BA] smartctl/smartd allow inspection of self-test and error logs even
2245 if disk firmware claims that these don't exist. This is needed
2246 for some Maxtor disks whose firmware does not indicate log support
2247 even though the disk DOES support it.
2249 [BA] Improved porting instructions and documentation in os_generic.c
2251 [PW] Add Western Digital Caviar WD136AA and SAMSUNG SP40A2H (RR100-07
2252 firmware) to knowndrives table.
2254 [EM] FreeBSD: remove extra definition of FreeNonZero
2256 [BA] smartctl: the -q silent option was printing output for some
2257 error conditions. Fixed. Will rename relevant variables to help
2258 avoid these errors in the future.
2260 [SS] NetBSD port added.
2262 [BA] more sensible error messages for devfs and devfs-like systems.
2263 Instead of saying that the DIRECTORY does not exist, say that
2264 the DEVICE does not exist.
2266 [BA] smartd: added -n Directive, to prevent disk spin-up depending
2267 upon the power mode (SLEEP, STANDBY, or IDLE).
2269 [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax 20 VL series, Fujitsu MPF series,
2270 Maxtor DiamondMax 36 series, Maxtor DiamondMax 4320 series, and
2271 Maxtor DiamondMax 536DX series to knowndrives table.
2273 [BA] many warning messages now give the file name AND VERSION
2275 [BA] smartd: when the user provides multiple address recipients
2276 to the '-m' Directive in a comma-delineated list, the commas
2277 are stripped out before passing the list of addresses to the
2278 mailer program. (Thanks to Calin A. Culianu for pointing this out
2279 and providing a patch.)
2281 [BA] smartd: when the '-M exec path' Directive is used, any stdout OR
2282 stderr output from the executable "path" is assumed to indicate a
2283 problem, and is echoed to SYSLOG.
2285 [BA] Added all missing IBM/Hitachi Deskstar 180GXP models to knowndrives
2288 [PW] Added some missing IBM/Hitachi Deskstar 120GXP models to knowndrives
2291 [PW] Added IBM Travelstar 14GS to knowndrives table.
2293 [PW] Modified knowndrives table to match entire Hitachi Travelstar
2294 DK23BA and DK23EA series of drives (thanks to Norikatsu Shigemura
2295 for submitting the patch).
2297 [PW] Added some missing Fujitsu MPE series drives to knowndrives table.
2299 [PW] Added TOSHIBA MK4019GAX, TOSHIBA MK6409MAV, and QUANTUM
2300 FIREBALLlct15 20 to knowndrives table.
2302 [EM] Fixup example command output for FreeBSD
2304 [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax 80 family to knowndrives table.
2306 [EM] Catch up FreeBSD code to switch PROJECTHOME to PACKAGE_HOMEPAGE
2309 [BA] smartd: now watches stdout/stderr when trying to run mail, mailx
2310 or mail warning script, and reports any output to SYSLOG. This
2311 gives a clearer error message if something is wrong.
2313 [BA] smartd: Solaris init script modified to accomodate grep that
2314 lacks '-q' quiet option. Also check for running process to kill
2317 [PW] Added some missing Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 and 7200.7 Plus drives
2318 to knowndrives table.
2320 [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 60 family and Seagate U Series 5 20413
2321 to knowndrives table.
2323 [BA] smartd: under Solaris, made default mailer be 'mailx' not
2324 'mail', since Solaris 'mail' does not accept a '-s' argument.
2325 A workaround for Solaris users of earlier versions is to
2326 have '-M exec /bin/mailx' in their smartd.conf config file.
2328 [DG] some SCSI controllers don't like odd length transfers so make
2329 sure LOG SENSE transfers are rounded up to an even number when
2330 and odd length is reported (i.e. there is a double fetch, the
2331 first to find the length, the second gets the data)
2333 [BA] smartd man pages: under Solaris, correct section numbers in the
2336 [KS/BA] smartd man page: describe how to set Solaris syslog.conf
2337 file to catch all messages. Give correct Solaris SYSLOG default
2338 path /var/adm/messages in man pages.
2340 [BA] smartd: incorporated Debian startup script submitted by user.
2342 [BA] smartctl: modified printing of self-test log entry number. Seagate
2343 firmware can leave 'holes' in the self-test log while a test is
2344 actually running. We now print entry numbers consistently in this
2345 case, not assuming that entries are contiguous.
2347 [PW] Added QUANTUM FIREBALL CX10.2A and Western Digital Caviar AC23200L
2348 to knowndrives table.
2350 [PW] Added QUANTUM FIREBALLlct20 20 to knowndrives table.
2352 [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax Plus D740X family to knowndrives table.
2354 [PW] Added IBM Travelstar 32GH, 30GT, and 20GN family to knowndrives
2357 [BA] Slackware init script modified to search for /etc/slackware-version
2358 rather than /etc/slackware-release.
2360 [PW] Added Seagate Barracuda ATA II family and TOSHIBA MK4019GAXB to
2363 [GG] explain howto use autoreconf in autogen.sh
2365 [KS] Makefile.am/configure.in: changed manual page sections for
2368 [BA] smartd: reduced number of scheduled self-test messages if
2369 test already run in current hour.
2371 [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 8 family to knowndrives table.
2373 [BA] linux: check for linux/hdreg.h. If it's there, use it. If
2374 not, provide the necessary definitions ourselves.
2376 [PW] Removed warning for IBM Deskstar 40GV & 75GXP series drives
2377 with TXAOA5AA firmware
2379 [PW] Added IBM Travelstar 25GS, 18GT, and 12GN family to knowndrives
2382 [PW] Added IBM/Hitachi Travelstar 60GH & 40GN family to knowndrives
2385 [BA] smartd: made '-s' Directive more efficient. Now store
2386 compiled regex, and re-use. If device lacks certain self-test
2387 capabilities, track it and don't try again.
2389 [BA] smartd: made memory allocation for device lists completely
2390 dynamic (eliminating compile-time maximum length constants).
2392 [PW] Removed warning for SAMSUNG SP0802N with TK100-23 firmware
2394 [PW] Added Seagate Barracuda ATA IV family to knowndrives table.
2396 [BA] smartd: reduce per-device memory footprint by making
2397 mail-warning info dynamically allocated. Also remove
2398 potential memory leak if use has -m Directive twice and
2399 keeps reloading the config file (highly unlikely this would
2402 [DG] smartd: added SCSI scheduled self-tests (Background
2405 [BA] smartd: can now run scheduled offline immediate and
2406 self-tests. See man page and -s Directive for details.
2408 [GG] don't include manpages in make-dist-tarball.
2410 [BA] smartctl: on-line examples given with -h are now correct
2411 for solaris and linux, but wrong for freebsd. Ed?
2413 [BA] smartd: man page now explains device scanning for solaris as
2414 well as linux and freebsd.
2416 [BA] smartd/smartctl: man pages now report correct CVS tag release
2417 date, and executables '-V' options reports more build info.
2421 [BA] Improved user messages that appear from 'make install'
2423 [PW] Removed warning for SAMSUNG SP1213N with firmware TL100-23
2425 [BA] incorporated SuSE init script from user.
2427 [DG] if SCSI device is read only, then open it read only.
2429 [BA] when compiled on non-supported system (NOT linux, freebsd or solaris) then
2430 the run-time error messages now clearly say 'your system is not supported'
2431 and give clear directions.
2433 [BA] ./configure script now works correctly on SuSE linux boxes
2435 [BA] minor improvements to man pages
2437 [BA] simplified detection of packet (ATAPI, CD) devices.
2439 [BA] init script (redhat, mandrake, yellowdog) now uses correct
2440 strings for translation and is slightly more standard.
2442 [DG] smartctl: output scsi Seagate vendor pages for disks (not tapes)
2446 Note: there was no '5.24' release. From this point on, even numbered
2447 releases will be 'stable' ones and odd numbered releases will be
2448 unstable/testing/development ones.
2450 [DG] smartd/smartctl: changed scsiClearControlGLTSD() to
2451 scsiSetControlGLTSD() with an 'enabled' argument so '-S on'
2452 and '-S off' work for SCSI devices (if changing GLTSD supported).
2454 [BA] smartd/smartctl: wired in scsiClearControlGLTSD(). Could still
2455 use a corresponding Set function. Left stubs for this purpose.
2457 [DG] scsicmds: added scsiClearControlGLTSD() [still to be wired in]
2459 [BA] smartctl: make SCSI -T options behave the same way as the
2462 [DG] smartctl: output scsi transport protocol if available
2464 [DG] scsi: stop device scan in smartd and smartctl if badly formed
2465 mode response [heuristic to filter out USB devices before we
2466 (potentially) lock them up].
2468 [BA] smartd: deviceclose()->CloseDevice(). Got rid of SCSIDEVELOPMENT
2469 macro-enabled code. Added -W to list of gcc specific options to
2470 always enable. Made code clean for -W warnings.
2472 [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax VL 30 family to knowndrives table.
2474 [DG] scsi: add warning (when '-l error' active) if Control mode page
2475 GLTSD bit is set (global disable of saving log counters)
2477 [DG] scsi: remember mode sense cmd length. Output trip temperature
2478 from IE lpage (IBM extension) when unavailable from temp lpage.
2480 [BA] smartd: for both SCSI and ATA now warns user if either
2481 the number of self-test errors OR timestamp of most
2482 recent self-test error have increased.
2484 [DG] smartctl: output Seagate scsi Cache and Factory log pages (if
2485 available) when vendor attributes chosen
2487 [DG] smartd: add scsiCountFailedSelfTests() function.
2489 [DG] Do more sanity checking of scsi log page responses.
2491 [BA] smartd: now warns user if number of self-test errors has
2492 increased for SCSI devices.
2494 [BA] smartd: warn user if number of ATA self-test errors increases
2495 (as before) OR if hour time stamp of most recent self-test
2498 [DG] More checks for well formed mode page responses. This has the side
2499 effect of stopping scans on bad SCSI implementations (e.g. some
2500 USB disks) prior to sending commands (typically log sense) that
2503 [PW] Added Western Digital Caviar family and Caviar SE family to
2506 [BA] smartd: added -l daemon (which is the default value if -l
2509 [PW] Added Seagate Barracuda ATA V family to knowndrives table.
2511 [BA] smartd: added additional command line argument -l FACILITY
2512 or --logfacility FACILITY. This can be used to redirect
2513 messages from smartd to a different file than the one used
2514 by other system daemons.
2516 [PW] Added Seagate Barracuda 7200.7, Western Digital Protege WD400EB,
2517 and Western Digital Caviar AC38400 to knowndrives table.
2519 [BA] smartd: scanning should now also work correctly for
2520 devfs WITHOUT traditional links /dev/hd[a-t] or /dev/sd[a-z].
2522 [PW] Added Maxtor 4W040H3, Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Plus,
2523 IBM Deskstar 120GXP (40GB), Seagate U Series 20410,
2524 Fujitsu MHM2100AT, MHL2300AT, MHM2150AT, and IBM-DARA-212000
2525 to knowndrives table.
2527 [PW] Added remaining Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 models to knowndrives
2530 [EM] smartd: If no matches found, then return 0, rather than an error
2531 indication, as it just means no devices of the given type exist.
2532 Adjust FreeBSD scan code to mirror Linux version.
2534 [BA] smartd: made device scan code simpler and more robust. If
2535 too many devices detected, warn user but scan as many
2536 as possible. If error in scanning, warn user but don't
2539 [EM] smartd: To keep as consistent as possible, migrate FreeBSD
2540 devicescan code to also use glob(3). Also verified clean
2541 compile on a 4.7 FreeBSD system.
2543 [BA] smartd: Modified device scan code to use glob(3). Previously
2544 it appeared to have trouble when scanning devices on an XFS
2545 file system, and used non-public interface to directory
2546 entries. Problems were also reported when /dev/ was on an
2547 ext2/3 file system, but there was a JFS partition on the same
2550 [BA] Clearer error messages when device scanning finds no suitable
2553 [EM] FreeBSD: Fixup code to allow for proper compilation under
2558 [BA] smartd: didn't close file descriptors of ATA packet devices
2559 that are scanned. Fixed.
2561 [BA] Added reload/report targets to the smartmontools init script.
2562 reload: reloads config file
2563 report: send SIGUSR1 to check devices now
2567 [EM] Fix compile issues for FreeBSD < 5-CURRENT.
2569 [PW] Added Fujitsu MHM2200AT to knowndrives table.
2571 [BA] To help catch bugs, clear ATA error structures before all
2572 ioctl calls. Disable code that attempted to time-out on SCSI
2573 devices when they hung (doesn't work).
2575 [BA] Documented STATUS/ERROR flags added by [PW] below.
2577 [BA] Improved algorithm to recognize ATA packet devices. Should
2578 no longer generate SYSLOG kernel noise when user tries either
2579 smartd or smartctl on packet device (CD-ROM or DVD). Clearer
2580 warning messages from smartd when scanning ATA packet device.
2582 [PW] Added TOSHIBA MK4025GAS to knowndrives table.
2584 [PW] Added a textual interpretation of the status and error registers
2585 in the SMART error log (ATA). The interpretation is
2586 command-dependent and currently only eight commands are supported
2587 (those which produced errors in the error logs that I happen to
2590 [BA] added memory allocation tracking to solaris code.
2591 Fixed solaris signal handling (reset handler to default
2592 after first call to handler) by using sigset. Added
2593 HAVE_SIGSET to configure.in
2595 [CD] solaris port: added SCSI functionality to solaris
2598 [BA] smartd: attempt to address bug report about smartd
2599 hanging on USB devices when scanning:
2600 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=107615
2601 Set a timeout of SCSITIMEOUT (nominally 7 seconds) before
2604 [EM] smartd: DEVICESCAN will follow links in a devfs filesystem and
2605 make sure the end point is a disc. Update documentation, added
2606 note about FreeBSD scanning
2608 [BA] smartd: DEVICESCAN also looks for block devices in
2609 /dev. Updated documentation. Now scans for up to
2610 20 ATA devices /dev/hda-t rather than previous 12
2613 [EM] smartd: mirror the FreeBSD DEVICESCAN logic for Linux,
2614 so that smartd now scans only devices found in /dev/. Also,
2615 make utility memory functions take a line number and file so
2616 that we report errors with the correct location.
2618 [GG] add a note about Debian bug #208964 to WARNINGS.
2620 [BA] smartctl: -T verypermissive option broken. Use
2621 -T verpermissive until the next release, please.
2623 [BA] Syntax mods so that code also compiles on Solaris using
2624 Sun Workshop compiler. Need -xmemalign 1i -xCC flags
2629 [DK] Changed configure.in so -Wall is only included if gcc
2630 is used (this is a gcc specific flag) and -fsignedchar
2631 is not used at all (this is a gcc specific compiler
2634 [BA] Modifications so that code now compiles under solaris. Now
2635 all that's needed (:-) is to fill in os_solaris.[hc]. Added
2636 os_generic.[hc] as guide to future ports. Fixed -D option
2637 of smartd (no file name). Modified -h opt of smartd/smartctl
2638 to work properly with solaris getopt().
2640 [EM] Update MAN pages with notes that 3ware drives are NOT supported
2641 under FreeBSD. Cleanup FreeBSD warning message handling.
2643 [EM] FreeBSD only: Fix first user found bug....I guess I was making
2644 the wrong assumption on how to convert ATA devnames to
2645 channel/unit numbers.
2647 [EM] Allow for option --enable-sample to append '.sample' to installed
2648 smartd.conf and rc script files. Also, let rc script shell setting
2649 be determined by configure
2651 [EM] Minor autoconf update to include -lcam for FreeBSD
2653 [EM] Add conditional logic to allow FreeBSD to compile pre-ATAng.
2655 Add some documentation to INSTALL for FreeBSD.
2657 [EM] Implement SCSI CAM support for FreeBSD. NOTE: I am not an expert
2658 in the use of CAM. It seems to work for me, but I may be doing
2659 something horribly wrong, so please exercise caution.
2661 [EM] Switch over to using 'atexit' rather than 'on_exit' routine. This also
2662 meant we needed to save the exit status elsewhere so our 'Goodbye'
2663 routine could examine it.
2665 [EM] Move the DEVICESCAN code to os specific files. Also moved some of the
2666 smartd Memory functions to utility.c to make available to smartctl.
2668 [EM] Code janitor work on os_freebsd.c.
2670 [EM] Added os_freebsd.[hc] code. Additional code janitor
2673 [BA] Code janitor working, moving OS dependent code into
2676 [GG] conditionally compile os_{freebsd,linux}.o depending on
2679 [PW] Print estimated completion time for tests
2681 [BA] Added -F samsung2 flag to correct firmware byte swap.
2682 All samsung drives with *-23 firmware revision string.
2686 [GG] Fixed broken Makefile.am (zero length smartd.conf.5
2687 was being created), fix broken uninstall/distcheck targets
2689 [FM] Improved Slackware init script added to /etc/smartd.initd
2691 smartmontools 5.19 [NOTE CHANGE OF RELEASE NUMBERING]
2693 [BA] smartctl: added '-T verypermissive' option which is
2694 equivalent to giving '-T permissive' many times.
2696 [BA] Try harder to identify from IDENTIFY DEVICE structure
2697 if SMART supported/enabled. smartd now does a more
2698 thorough job of trying to assess this before sending
2699 a SMART status command to find out for sure.
2701 [BA] smartctl: it's now possible to override the program's
2702 guess of the device type (ATA or SCSI) with -d option.
2704 [BA] try hard to avoid sending IDENTIFY DEVICE to packet
2705 devices (CDROMS). They can't do SMART, and this generates
2706 annoying syslog messages. At the same time, identify type
2709 [BA] smartctl: Can now use permissive option more
2710 than once, to control how far to go before giving up.
2712 [BA] smartd: if user asked to monitor either error or self-test
2713 logs (-l error or -l selftest) WITHOUT monitoring any of the
2714 Attribute values, code will SEGV. For 5.1-18 and earlier,
2715 a good workaround is to enable Auto offline (-o on).
2717 [BA] smartctl: If enable auto offline command given, update auto
2718 offline status before printing capabilities.
2720 [GG] Make autotools build the default, remove autotools.diff
2722 [GG] Add auto{conf,make} support, not enabled by default.
2724 [BA] Eliminated #include <linux/hdreg.h> from code. This
2725 should simplify porting to solaris, FreeBSD, etc. The
2726 only linux-specific code is now isolated to three routines,
2727 one for SCSI, one for Escalade, one for ATA.
2729 smartmontools 5.1-18
2731 [BA] smartd: fixed serious bug - Attributes not monitored unless
2732 user told smartd to ignore at least one of them!
2734 smartmontools 5.1-17
2736 [BA] Default runlevels for smartd changed from 3 and 5 to
2739 [BA] Removed as much dynamic memory allocation as possible from
2740 configuration file parsing. Reloading config file, even in
2741 presence of syntax errors etc. should not cause memory leaks.
2743 [PW] It is no longer permissible for the integer part (if any) of
2744 arguments to --report and --device to be followed by non-digits.
2745 For example, the "foo" in --report=ioctl,2foo was previously
2746 ignored, but now causes an error.
2748 [BA] smartd: added -q/--quit command line option to specify
2749 under what circumstances smartd should exit. The old
2750 -c/--checkonce option is now obsoleted by this more
2751 general-purpose option.
2753 [BA] smartd now responds to a HUP signal by re-reading its
2754 configuration file /etc/smartd.conf. If there are
2755 errors in this file, then the configuration file is
2756 ignored and smartd continues to monitor the devices that
2757 it was monitoring prior to receiving the HUP signal.
2759 [BA] Now correctly get SMART status from disks behind 3ware
2760 controllers, thanks to Adam Radford. Need 3w-xxxx driver
2761 version 1.02.00.037 or later. Previously the smartmontools
2762 SMART status always returned "OK" for 3ware controllers.
2764 [BA] Additional work on dynamic memory allocation/deallocation.
2765 This should have no effect on smartctl, but clears that way
2766 for smartd to dynamically add and remove entries. It should
2767 also now be easier to modify smartd to re-read its config
2768 file on HUP (which is easy) without leaking memory (which is
2769 harder). The philosophy is that memory for data structures in
2770 smartd is now allocated only on demand, the first time it
2773 [BA] smartd: finished cleanup. Now use create/rm functions for
2774 cfgentries and dynamic memory allocation almost everywhere.
2775 Philosophy: aggresively try and provoke SEGV to help find
2778 [BA] Added SAMSUNG SV0412H to knowndrives table.
2780 [BA] smartd: if DEVICESCAN used then knowndrives table might not set
2781 the -v attributes correctly -- may have been the same for all
2782 the drives. Cleaned up some data structures and memory
2783 allocation to try and ensure segvs if such problems are
2786 [BA] Now allow -S on and -o on for the 3ware device type. For these
2787 commands to be passed through, the stock 3ware 3w-xxxx driver
2788 must be patched (8 lines). I'll post a patch on the smartmontools
2789 home page after it's been tested by a few other people and 3ware
2790 have had a chance to look it over.
2792 smartmontools-5.1-16
2794 [BA] smartd - can now monitor ATA drives behind 3ware controllers.
2796 [BA] smartd - changed some FATAL out of memory error messages from
2797 syslog level LOG_INFO to LOG_CRIT.
2799 [BA] smartctl - added code to look at ATA drives behind 3ware RAID
2800 controllers using the 3w-xxxx driver. Note that for technical
2801 reasons related to the 3w-xxxx driver, the "Enable Autosave",
2802 "Enable Automatic Offline" commands are not implemented.
2803 I will add this to smartd shortly.
2805 [BA] smartd - modified sleep loop, so that smartd no longer comes
2806 on the run queue every second. Instead, unless interrupted,
2807 it sleeps until the next polling time, when it wakes up. Now
2808 smartd also tries to wake up at exactly the right
2809 intervals (nominally 30 min) even if the user has been sending
2812 [GG] add Fujitsu MHN2300AT to vendoropts_9_seconds.
2814 [EB] Fujitsu change in knowndrives ... match the whole MPD and
2815 MPE series for vendoropts_9_seconds.
2817 [BA] smartd bug, might cause segv if a device can not be opened. Was
2818 due to missing comma in char* list. Consequence is that email
2819 failure messages might have had the wrong Subject: heading for
2820 errorcount, FAILEDhealthcheck, FAILEDreadsmartdata, FAILEDreadsmarterrorlog,
2821 FAILEDreadsmartsefltestlog, FAILEDopendevice were all displaced by
2822 one. And FAILEDopendevice might have caused a segv if -m was being
2823 used as a smartd Directive.
2825 smartmontools-5.1-15
2827 [BA] Cleaned up smartmontools.spec so that upgrading, removing
2828 and other such operations correctly preserve running behavior
2829 and booting behavior of smartd.
2831 [BA] Improved formatting of ATA Error Log printout, and added
2832 listing of names of commands that caused the error. Added
2833 obsolete ATA-4 SMART feature commands to table, along with
2834 obsolete SFF-8035i SMART feature command.
2836 [PW] Added atacmdnames.[hc], which turn command register &
2837 feature register pairs into ATA command names.
2839 [BA] Added conveyance self-test. Some code added for selective
2840 self-tests, but #ifdefed out.
2842 [BA] Modified smartd exit status and log levels. If smartd is
2843 "cleanly" terminated, for example with SIGTERM, then its
2844 exit messages are now logged at LOG_INFO not LOG_CRIT
2846 [BA] Added Attribute IDs (Fujitsu) 0xCA - 0xCE. This is decimal
2847 202-206. Added -v switches for interpretation of Attributes
2850 [BA] Made smartmontools work with any endian order machine for:
2851 - SMART selftest log
2852 - SMART ATA error log
2853 - SMART Attributes values
2854 - SMART Attributes thesholds
2855 - IDENTIFY DEVICE information
2857 Smartmontools is now free of endian bias and works correctly
2858 on both little- and big-endian hardware. This has been tested by
2859 three independent PPC users on a variety of ATA and SCSI hardware.
2861 [DG] Check that certain SCSI command responses are well formed. If
2862 IEC mode page response is not well formed exit smartctl. This
2863 is to protect aacraid. smartd should ignore a aacraid device.
2865 smartmontools-5.1-14
2867 [BA] smartctl: added column to -A output to show if Attributes are
2868 updated only during off-line testing or also during normal
2871 smartmontools-5.1-13
2873 [BA] smartd: attempt to enable/disable automatic offline testing even
2874 if the disk appears not to support it. Now the same logic
2877 [BA] Added definition of Attribute 201, soft read error rate.
2879 [BA] Added IBM/Hitachi IC35L120AVV207-1 (GXP-180) and corresponding
2880 8MB Cache GXP-120 to drive database.
2882 [BA] smartd: if DEVICESCAN Directive used in smartd.conf, and
2883 -I, -R or -r Directives used in conjunction with this, got
2884 segv errors. Fixed by correcting memory allocation calls.
2886 [BA] smartd: enable automatic offline testing was broken due
2887 to cut-and-paste error that disabled it instead of
2888 enabling it. Thanks to Maciej W. Rozycki for pointing
2889 out the problem and solution.
2891 [BA] Fixed "spelling" of some Attribute names to replace spaces
2892 in names by underscores. (Fixed field width easier for awk
2895 [BA,GF] Added mods submitted by [GF] to support Attribute 193 being
2896 load/unload cycles. Add -v 193,loadunload option, useful for
2897 Hitachi drive DK23EA-30, and add this drive to knowndrive.c
2898 Add meaning of attribute 250 : Read error retry rate
2900 smartmontools-5.1-12
2902 [BA] Added another entry for Samsung drives to knowndrive table.
2904 [DG] Refine SCSI log sense command to do a double fetch in most cases
2905 (but not for the TapeAlert log page). Fix TapeAlert and Self Test
2906 log page response truncation.
2908 [PW] Added 'removable' argument to -d Directive for smartd. This indicates
2909 that smartd should continue (rather than exit) if the device does not
2910 appear to be present.
2912 [BA] Modified smartmontools.spec [Man pages location] and
2913 smartd.initd [Extra space kills chkconfig!] for Redhat 6.x
2914 compatibility (thanks to Gerald Schnabel).
2916 smartmontools-5.1-11
2918 [EB] Add another Fujitsu disk to knowndrives.c
2920 [GG] match for scsi/ and ide/ in case of devfs to exclude false postives
2922 [BA] If SCSI device listed in /etc/smartd.conf fails to open or do
2923 SMART stuff correctly, or not enough space
2924 to list all SCSI devices, fail with error unless
2925 -DSCSIDEVELOPMENT set during compile-time.
2927 [BA] Added automatic recognition of /dev/i* (example: /dev/ide/...)
2930 [DG] Add "Device type: [disk | tape | medium changer | ...] line to
2931 smartctl -i output for SCSI devices.
2933 [PW] Fixed bug in smartd where test email would be sent regularly (for
2934 example, daily if the user had specified -M daily) instead of just
2937 [KM] More TapeAlert work. Added translations for media changer
2938 alerts. TapeAlert support reported according to the log page
2939 presence. ModeSense not attempted for non-ready tapes (all
2940 drives do not support this after all). Get peripheral type from
2941 Inquiry even if drive info is not printed. Add QUIETON()
2942 QUIETOFF() to TapeAlert log check.
2944 [BA] Stupid bug in atacmds.c minor_str[] affected ataVersionInfo().
2945 Two missing commas meant that minor_str[] had two few elements,
2946 leading to output like this:
2947 Device Model: Maxtor 6Y120L0

2950 Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall]
2952 ATA Standard is: 9,minutes
2954 Missing commas inserted.
2956 [BA] Fixed smartd bug. On device registration, if ATA device did
2957 not support SMART error or self-test logs but user had asked to
2958 monitor them, an attempt would be made to read them anyway,
2959 possibly generating "Drive Seek" errors. We now check that
2960 the self-test and error logs are supported before trying to
2961 access them the first time.
2963 [GG/BA] Fixed bug where if SMART ATA error log not supported,
2964 command was tried anyway. Changed some error printing to use
2967 [GG] Makefile modifications to ease packaging
2969 [DG] Did work for TapeAlerts (SCSI). Now can detect /dev/nst0 as a
2970 SCSI device. Also open SCSI devices O_NONBLOCK so they don't
2971 hang on open awaiting media. The ATA side should worry about
2972 this also: during a DEVICESCAN a cd/dvd device without media
2973 will hang. Added some TapeAlert code suggested by Kai Makisara.
2975 smartmontools-5.1-10
2977 [PW] Extended the -F option/Directive to potentially fix other firmware
2978 bugs in addition to the Samsung byte-order bug. Long option name is
2979 now --firmwarebug and the option/Directive accepts an argument
2980 indicating the type of firmware bug to fix.
2982 [BA] Fixed a bug that prevented the enable automatic off-line
2983 test feature from enabling. It also prevented the enable Attribute
2984 autosave from working. See CVS entry for additional details.
2986 [PW] Modified the -r/--report option (smartctl and smartd) to allow the
2987 user to specify the debug level as a positive integer.
2989 [BA] Added --log directory option to smartctl. If the disk
2990 supports the general-purpose logging feature set (ATA-6/7)
2991 then this option enables the Log Directory to be printed.
2992 This Log Directory shows which device logs are available, and
2993 their lengths in sectors.
2995 [PW] Added -P/--presets option to smartctl and -P Directive to smartd.
2997 [GG] Introduce different exit codes indicating the type of problem
2998 encountered for smartd.
3000 [DG] Add non-medium error count to '-l error' and extended self test
3001 duration to '-l selftest'. Get scsi IEs and temperature changes
3002 working in smartd. Step over various scsi disk problems rather
3003 than abort smartd startup.
3005 [DG] Support -l error for SCSI disks (and tapes). Output error counter
3008 [BA] Added -F/--fixbyteorder option to smartctl. This allows us to read
3009 SMART data from some disks that have byte-reversed two- and four-
3010 byte quantities in their SMART data structures.
3012 [BA] Fixed serious bug: the -v options in smartd.conf were all put
3013 together and used together, not drive-by-drive.
3015 [PW] Added knowndrives.h and knowndrives.c. The knowndrives array
3016 supersedes the drivewarnings array.
3018 [GG] add {-p,--pidfile} option to smartd to write a PID file on
3019 startup. Update the manpage accordingly.
3021 [DG] Fix scsi smartd problem detecting SMART support. More cleaning
3022 and fix (and rename) scsiTestUnitReady(). More scsi renaming.
3024 [BA] Fixed smartd so that if a disk that is explictily listed is not
3025 found, then smartd will exit with nonzero status BEFORE forking.
3026 If a disk can't be registered, this will also be detected before
3027 forking, so that init scripts can react correctly.
3029 [BA] Replaced all linux-specific ioctl() calls in atacmds.c with
3030 a generic handler smartcommandhandler(). Now the only routine
3031 that needs to be implemented for a given OS is os_specific_handler().
3032 Also implemented the --report ataioctl. This provides
3033 two levels of reporting. Using the option once gives a summary
3034 report of device IOCTL transactions. Using the option twice give
3035 additional info (a printout of ALL device raw 512 byte SMART
3036 data structures). This is useful for debugging.
3038 [DG] more scsi cleanup. Output scsi device serial number (VPD page
3039 0x80) if available as part of '-i'. Implement '-t offline' as
3040 default self test (only self test older disks support).
3042 [BA] Changed crit to info in loglevel of smartd complaint to syslog
3043 if DEVICESCAN enabled and device not found.
3045 [BA] Added -v 194,10xCelsius option/Directive. Raw Attribute number
3046 194 is ten times the disk temperature in Celsius.
3048 [DG] scsicmds.[hc] + scsiprint.c: clean up indentation, remove tabs.
3049 Introduce new intermediate interface based on "struct scsi_cmnd_io"
3050 to isolate SCSI generic commands + responses from Linux details;
3051 should help port to FreeBSD of SCSI part of smartmontools.
3052 Make SCSI command builders more parametric.
3056 [BA] smartctl: if HDIO_DRIVE_TASK ioctl() is not implemented (no
3057 kernel support, then try to assess drive health by examining
3058 Attribute values/thresholds directly.
3060 [BA] smartd/smartctl: added -v 200,writeerrorcount option/Directive
3063 [BA] smartd: Now send email if any of the SMART commands fails,
3064 or if open()ing the device fails. This is often noted
3065 as a common disk failure mode.
3067 [BA] smartd/smartctl: Added -v N,raw8 -v N,raw16 and -v N,raw48
3068 Directives/Options for printing Raw Attributes in different
3071 [BA] smartd: Added -r ID and -R ID for reporting/tracking Raw
3072 values of Attributes.
3074 [BA] smartd/smartctl: Changed printing of spin-up-time attribute
3075 raw value to reflect current/average as per IBM standard.
3077 [BA] smartd/smartctl: Added -v 9,seconds option for disks which
3078 use Attribute 9 for power-on lifetime in seconds.
3080 [BA] smartctl: Added a warning message so that users of some IBM
3081 disks are warned to update their firmware. Note: we may want
3082 to add a command-line flag to disable the warning messages.
3083 I have done this in a general way, using regexp, so that we
3084 can add warnings about any type of disk that we wish...
3088 [BA] smartd: Created a subdirectory examplescripts/ of source
3089 directory that contains executable scripts for the -M exec PATH
3090 Directive of smartd.
3094 [BA] smartd: DEVICESCAN in /etc/smartd.conf
3095 can now be followed by all the same Directives as a regular
3096 device name like /dev/hda takes. This allows one to use
3098 DEVICESCAN -m root@example.com
3099 in the /etc/smartd.conf file.
3101 [BA] smartd: Added -c (--checkonce) command-line option. This checks
3102 all devices once, then exits. The exit status can be
3103 used to learn if devices were detected, and if smartd is
3104 functioning correctly. This is primarily for Distribution
3107 [BA] smartd: Implemented -M exec Directive for
3108 smartd.conf. This makes it possible to run an
3109 arbitrary script or mailing program with the
3112 [PW] smartd: Modified -M Directive so that it can be given
3113 multiple times. Added -M exec Directive.
3117 [BA] Fixed bug in smartctl pointed out by Pierre Gentile.
3118 -d scsi didn't work because tryata and tryscsi were
3119 reversed -- now works on /devfs SCSI devices.
3121 [BA] Fixed bug in smartctl pointed out by Gregory Goddard
3122 <ggoddard@ufl.edu>. Manual says that bit 6 of return
3123 value turned on if errors found in smart error log. But
3124 this wasn't implemented.
3128 [BA] Modified printing format for 9,minutes to read
3129 Xh+Ym not X h + Y m, so that fields are fixed width.
3131 [BA] Added Attribute 240 "head flying hours"
3135 [BA] As requested, local time/date now printed by smartctl -i
3137 [PW] Added "help" argument to -v for smartctl
3139 [PW] Added -D, --showdirectives option to smartd
3141 [DG] add '-l selftest' capability for SCSI devices (update smartctl.8)
3143 [BA] smartd,smartctl: added additional Attribute modification option
3144 -v 220,temp and -v 9,temp.
3146 [PW] Renamed smartd option -X to -d
3148 START OF SMARTMONTOOLS 5.1 series
3150 smartmontools-5.0.50
3152 [PW] Changed smartd.conf Directives -- see man page
3154 [BA/DG] Fixed uncommented comment in smartd.conf
3156 [DG] Correct 'Recommended start stop count' for SCSI devices
3158 [PW] Replaced smartd.conf directive -C with smartd option -i
3160 [PW] Changed options for smartctl -- see man page.
3162 [BA] Use strerror() to generate system call error messages.
3164 [BA] smartd: fflush() all open streams before fork().
3166 [BA] smartctl, smartd simplified internal handling of checksums
3167 for simpler porting and less code.
3169 smartmontools-5.0.49
3171 [PW] smartd --debugmode changed to --debug
3173 [BA] smartd/smartctl added attribute 230 Head Amplitude from
3176 [PW] Added list of proposed new options for smartctl to README.
3178 [PW] smartd: ParseOpts() now uses getopt_long() if HAVE_GETOPT_LONG is
3179 defined and uses getopt() otherwise. This is controlled by CPPFLAGS in
3182 [BA] smartd: Fixed a couple of error messages done with perror()
3183 to redirect them as needed.
3185 smartmontools-5.0.48
3187 [BA] smartctl: The -O option to enable an Immediate off-line test
3188 did not print out the correct time that the test would take to
3189 complete. This is because the test timer is volatile and not
3190 fixed. This has been fixed, and the smartctl.8 man page has been
3191 updated to explain how to track the Immediate offline test as it
3192 progresses, and to further emphasize the differences between the
3193 off-line immediate test and the self-tests.
3195 [BA] smartd/smartctl: Added new attribute (200) Multi_Zone_Error_Rate
3197 [BA] smartctl: modified so that arguments could have either a single -
3198 as in -ea or multiple ones as in -e -a. Improved warning message for
3199 device not opened, and fixed error in redirection of error output of
3200 HD identity command.
3202 [PW] smartd: added support for long options. All short options are still
3203 supported; see manpage for available long options.
3205 [BA] smartctl. When raw Attribute value was 2^31 or larger, did
3206 not print correctly.
3208 smartmontools-5.0.46
3210 [BA] smartd: added smartd.conf Directives -T and -s. The -T Directive
3211 enables/disables Automatic Offline Testing. The -s Directive
3212 enables/disables Attribute Autosave. Documentation and
3213 example configuration file updated to agree.
3215 [BA] smartd: user can make smartd check the disks at any time
3216 (ie, interrupt sleep) by sending signal SIGUSR1 to smartd. This
3217 can be done for example with:
3219 where <pid> is the process ID number of smartd.
3221 [EB] scsi: don't trust the data we receive from the drive too
3222 much. It very well might have errors (like zero response length).
3223 Seen on Megaraid logical drive, and verified in the driver source.
3225 [BA] smartd: added Directive -m for sending test email and
3226 for modifying email reminder behavior. Updated manual, and sample
3227 configuration file to illustrate & explain this.
3229 [BA] smartd: increased size of a continued smartd.conf line to
3232 [BA] Simplified Directive parsers and improved warning/error
3235 smartmontools-5.0.45
3237 [EB] Fixed bug in smartd where testunitready logic inverted
3238 prevented functioning on scsi devices.
3239 The bug in question only affects smartd users with scsi devices.
3240 To see if your version of smartd has the testunitready() bug, do
3242 If the version of the module smartd.c in a line like:
3243 Module: smartd.c revision: 1.66 date: 2002/11/17
3244 has a revision greater than or equal to 1.30, and less than or equal to
3245 1.64, then your version of the code has this problem.
3246 This problem affected releases starting with RELEASE_5_0_16 up to and
3247 including RELEASE_5_0_43.
3249 [BA] Added testunitnotready to smartctl for symmetry with smartd.
3251 [SB] added Czech descriptions to .spec file
3252 [SB] corrected comment in smartd.conf example
3254 [BA] Changed way that entries in the ATA error log are printed,
3255 to make it clearer which is the most recent error and
3256 which is the oldest one.
3258 NOTE: All changes made prior to this point were done by Bruce Allen
3259 [BA] although several of them had been suggested by earlier postings
3260 by Stanislav Brabec [SB].
3262 smartmontools-5.0.43
3264 Changed Temperature_Centigrade to Temperature_Celsius.
3265 The term "Centigrade" ceased to exist in 1948. (c.f
3266 http://www.bartleby.com/64/C004/016.html).
3268 smartmontools-5.0.42
3270 Modified SCSI device check to also send warning emails if
3271 requested in directives file.
3273 Added a new smartd configuration file Directive: -M ADDRESS.
3274 This sends a single warning email to ADDRESS for failures or
3275 errors detected with the -c, -L, -l, or -f Directives.
3277 smartmontools-5.0.38
3279 Modified perror() statements in atacmds.c so that printout for SMART
3280 commands errors is properly suppressed or queued depending upon users
3281 choices for error reporting modes.
3283 Added Italian descriptions to smartmontools.spec file.
3285 Started impementing send-mail-on-error for smartd; not yet enabled.
3287 Added -P (Permissive) Directive to smartd.conf file to allow SMART
3288 monitoring of pre-ATA-3 Rev 4 disks that have SMART but do not have
3289 a SMART capability bit.
3291 Removed charset encodings from smartmontools.spec file for non-English
3294 smartmontools-5.0.32
3296 Added manual page smartd.conf.5 for configuration file.
3298 smartctl: Missing ANSI prototype in failuretest(); fixed.
3300 smartctl: Checksum warnings now printed on stdout, or are silent,
3301 depending upon -q and -Q settings.
3303 smartmontools-5.0.31
3305 Changed Makefile so that the -V option does not reflect file state
3308 smartctl: added new options -W, -U, and -P to control if and how the
3309 smartctl exits if an error is detected in either a SMART data
3310 structure checksum, or a SMART command returns an error.
3312 modified manual page to break options into slightly more logical
3315 reformatted 'usage' message order to agree with man page ordering
3317 modified .spec file so that locale information now contains
3318 character set definition. Changed pt_BR to pt since we do not use any
3319 aspect other than language. See man setlocale.
3321 smartmontools-5.0.30
3322 smartctl: added new options -n and -N to force device to be ATA or SCSI
3323 smartctl: no longer dies silently if device path does not start/dev/X
3324 smartctl: now handles arbitrary device paths
3326 smartmontools-5.0.29
3327 Modified .spec file and Makefile to make them more compliant with
3328 the "right" way of doing things.
3330 smartmontools-5.0.26
3331 Fixed typesetting error in man page smartd.8
3333 Removed redundant variable (harmless) from smartd.c
3335 smartmontools-5.0.25
3337 Added a new directive for the configuration file. If the word
3338 DEVICESCAN appears before any non-commented material in the
3339 configuration file, then the confi file will be ignored and the
3340 devices wil be scanned.
3342 smartmontools-5.0.24
3344 Note: it has now been confirmed that the code modifications between
3345 5.0.23 and 5.0.24 have eliminated the GCC 3.2 problems. Note that
3346 there is a GCC bug howerver, see #8404 at
3347 http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?database=gcc&cmd=query
3348 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8404
3350 Added new Directive for Configuration file:
3351 -C <N> This sets the time in between disk checks to be <N>
3352 seconds apart. Note that although you can give
3353 this Directive multiple times on different lines of
3354 the configuration file, only the final value that
3355 is given has an effect, and applies to all the
3356 disks. The default value of <N> is 1800 sec, and
3357 the minimum allowed value is ten seconds.
3359 Problem wasn't the print format. F.L.W. Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>
3360 sent me a gcc 3.2 build and I ran it under a debugger. The
3361 problem seems to be with passing the very large (2x512+4) byte
3362 data structures as arguments. I never liked this anyway; it was
3363 inherited from smartsuite. So I've changed all the heavyweight
3364 functions (ATA ones, anyone) to just passing pointers, not hideous
3365 kB size structures on the stack. Hopefully this will now build OK
3366 under gcc 3.2 with any sensible compilation options.
3368 smartmontools-5.0.23
3370 Because of reported problems with GCC 3.2 compile, I have gone
3371 thorough the code and explicitly changed all print format
3372 parameters to correspond EXACTLY to int unless they have to be
3373 promoted to long longs. To quote from the glibc bible: [From
3374 GLIBC Manual: Since the prototype doesn't specify types for
3375 optional arguments, in a call to a variadic function the default
3376 argument promotions are performed on the optional argument
3377 values. This means the objects of type char or short int (whether
3378 signed or not) are promoted to either int or unsigned int, as
3381 smartmontools-5.0.22
3383 smartd, smartctl now warn if they find an attribute whose ID
3384 number does not match between Data and Threshold structures.
3386 Fixed nasty bug which led to wrong number of arguments for a
3387 varargs statement, with attendent stack corruption. Sheesh!
3388 Have added script to CVS attic to help find such nasties in the
3391 smartmontools-5.0.21
3393 Eliminated some global variables out of header files and other
3394 minor cleanup of smartd.
3396 smartmontools-5.0.20
3398 Did some revision of the man page for smartd and made the usage
3399 messages for Directives 100% consistent.
3401 smartmontools-5.0-19
3403 smartd: prints warning message when it gets SIGHUP, saying that it
3404 is NOT re-reading the config file.
3406 smartctl: updated man page to say self-test commands -O,x,X,s,S,A
3407 appear to be supported in the code. [I can't test these, can anyone
3410 smartmontools-5.0-18
3412 smartctl: smartctl would previously print the LBA of a self-test
3413 if it completed, and the LBA was not 0 or 0xff...f However
3414 according to the specs this is not correct. According to the
3415 specs, if the self-test completed without error then LBA is
3416 undefined. This version fixes that. LBA value only printed if
3417 self-test encountered an error.
3419 smartmontools-5.0-17
3421 smartd has changed significantly. This is the first CVS checkin of
3422 code that extends the options available for smartd. The following
3423 options can be placed into the /etc/smartd.conf file, and control the
3425 Configuration file Directives (following device name):
3426 -A Device is an ATA device
3427 -S Device is a SCSI device
3428 -c Monitor SMART Health Status
3429 -l Monitor SMART Error Log for changes
3430 -L Monitor SMART Self-Test Log for new errors
3431 -f Monitor for failure of any 'Usage' Attributes
3432 -p Report changes in 'Prefailure' Attributes
3433 -u Report changes in 'Usage' Attributes
3434 -t Equivalent to -p and -u Directives
3435 -a Equivalent to -c -l -L -f -t Directives
3436 -i ID Ignore Attribute ID for -f Directive
3437 -I ID Ignore Attribute ID for -p, -u or -t Directive
3438 # Comment: text after a hash sign is ignored
3439 \ Line continuation character
3441 cleaned up functions used for printing CVS IDs. Now use string
3442 library, as it should be.
3444 modified length of device name string in smartd internal structure
3445 to accomodate max length device name strings
3447 removed un-implemented (-e = Email notification) option from
3448 command line arg list. We'll put it back on when implemeneted.
3450 smartd now logs serious (fatal) conditions in its operation at
3451 loglevel LOG_CRIT rather than LOG_INFO before exiting with error.
3453 smartd used to open a file descriptor for each SMART enabled
3454 device, and then keep it open the entire time smartd was running.
3455 This meant that some commands, like IOREADBLKPART did not work,
3456 since the fd to the device was open. smartd now opens the device
3457 when it needs to read values, then closes it. Also, if one time
3458 around it can't open the device, it simply prints a warning
3459 message but does not give up. Have eliminated the .fd field from
3460 data structures -- no longer gets used.
3462 smartd now opens SCSI devices as well using O_RDONLY rather than
3463 O_RDWR. If someone can no longer monitor a SCSI device that used
3464 to be readable, this may well be the reason why.
3466 smartd never checked if the number of ata or scsi devices detected
3467 was greater than the max number it could monitor. Now it does.
3469 smartmontools-5.0-16
3471 smartd on startup now looks in the configuration file /etc/smartd.conf for
3472 a list of devices which to include in its monitoring list. See man page
3473 (man smartd) for syntax.
3475 smartd: close file descriptors of SCSI device if not SMART capable
3476 Closes ALL file descriptors after forking to daemon.
3478 added new temperature attribute (231, temperature)
3480 smartd: now open ATA disks using O_RDONLY
3482 smartmontools-5.0-11
3484 smartd now prints the name of a failed or changed attribute
3485 into logfile, not just ID number
3487 Changed name of -p (print version) option to -V
3489 Minor change in philosophy: if a SMART command fails or the device
3490 appears incapable of a SMART command that the user has asked for,
3491 complain by printing an error message, but go ahead and try
3492 anyway. Since unimplemented SMART commands should just return an
3493 error but not cause disk problems, this should't cause any
3496 Added two new flags: q and Q. q is quiet mode - only print: For
3497 the -l option, errors recorded in the SMART error log; For the -L
3498 option, errors recorded in the device self-test log; For the -c
3499 SMART "disk failing" status or device attributes (pre-failure or
3500 usage) which failed either now or in the past; For the -v option
3501 device attributes (pre-failure or usage) which failed either now
3502 or in the past. Q is Very Quiet mode: Print no ouput. The only
3503 way to learn about what was found is to use the exit status of
3506 smartctl now returns sensible values (bitmask). See smartctl.h
3507 for the values, and the man page for documentation.
3509 The SMART status check now uses the correct ATA call. If failure
3510 is detected we search through attributes to list the failed ones.
3511 If the SMART status check shows GOOD, we then look to see if their
3512 are any usage attributes or prefail attributes have failed at any
3513 time. If so we print them.
3515 Modified function that prints vendor attributes to say if the
3516 attribute has currently failed or has ever failed.
3518 -p option now prints out license info and CVS strings for all
3519 modules in the code, nicely formatted.
3521 Previous versions of this code (and Smartsuite) only generate
3522 SMART failure errors if the value of an attribute is below the
3523 threshold and the prefailure bit is set. However the ATA Spec
3524 (ATA4 <=Rev 4) says that it is a SMART failure if the value of an
3525 attribute is LESS THAN OR EQUAL to the threshold and the
3526 prefailure bit is set. This is now fixed in both smartctl and
3527 smartd. Note that this is a troubled subject -- the original
3528 SFF 8035i specification defining SMART was inconsistent about
3529 this. One section says that Attribute==Threshold is pass,
3530 and another section says it is fail. However the ATA specs are
3531 consistent and say Attribute==Threshold is a fail.
3533 smartd did not print the correct value of any failing SMART attribute. It
3534 printed the index in the attribute table, not the attribute
3537 when starting self-tests in captive mode ioctl returns EIO because
3538 the drive has been busied out. Detect this and don't return an eror
3539 in this case. Check this this is correct (or how to fix it?)
3541 fixed possible error in how to determine ATA standard support
3542 for devices with no ATA minor revision number.
3544 device opened only in read-only not read-write mode. Don't need R/W
3545 access to get smart data. Check this with Andre.
3547 smartctl now handles all possible choices of "multiple options"
3548 gracefully. It goes through the following phases of operation,
3549 in order: INFORMATION, ENABLE/DISABLE, DISPLAY DATA, RUN/ABORT TESTS.
3550 Documentation has bee updated to explain the different phases of
3551 operation. Control flow through ataPrintMain()
3554 If reading device identity information fails, try seeing if the info
3555 can be accessed using a "DEVICE PACKET" command. This way we can
3556 at least get device info.
3558 Modified Makefile to automatically tag CVS archive on issuance of
3561 Modified drive detection so minor device ID code showing ATA-3 rev
3562 0 (no SMART) is known to not be SMART capable.
3564 Now verify the checksum of the device ID data structure, and of the
3565 attributes threshold structure. Before neither of these
3566 structures had their checksums verified.
3568 New behavior vis-a-vis checksums. If they are wrong, we log
3569 warning messages to stdout, stderr, and syslog, but carry on
3570 anyway. All functions now call a checksumwarning routine if the
3571 checksum doesn't vanish as it should.
3573 Changed Read Hard Disk Identity function to get fresh info from
3574 the disk on each call rather than to use the values that were read
3575 upon boot-up into the BIOS. This is the biggest change in this
3576 release. The ioctl(device, HDIO_GET_IDENTITY, buf ) call should
3577 be avoided in such code. Note that if people get garbled strings
3578 for the model, serial no and firmware versions of their drives,
3579 then blame goes here (the BIOS does the byte swapping for you,
3582 Function ataSmartSupport now looks at correct bits in drive
3583 identity structure to verify first that these bits are valid,
3586 Function ataIsSmartEnabled() written which uses the Drive ID state
3587 information to tell if SMART is enabled or not. We'll carry this
3588 along for the moment without using it.
3590 Function ataDoesSmartWork() guaranteed to work if the device
3593 Replace some numbers by #define MACROS
3595 Wrote Function TestTime to return test time associated with each
3596 different type of test.
3598 Thinking of the future, have added a new function called
3599 ataSmartStatus2(). Eventually when I understand how to use the
3600 TASKFILE API and am sure that this works correctly, it will
3601 replace ataSmartStatus(). This queries the drive directly to
3602 see if the SMART status is OK, rather than comparing thresholds to
3603 attribute values ourselves. But I need to get some drives that fail
3604 their SMART status to check it.
3607 smartmontools-5.0-10
3608 Removed extraneous space before printing in some error messages
3609 Fixed additional typos in documentation
3610 Fixed some character buffers that were too short for their contents.
3614 Put project home path into all source files near the top
3615 Corrected typos in the documentation
3616 Modified Makefile so that Mandrake Cooker won't increment version number
3617 (unless they happen to be working on my machine, which I doubt!)
3619 smartmontools-5.0-8:
3621 For IBM disks whose raw temp data includes three temps. print all
3624 print timestamps for error log to msec precision
3626 added -m option for Hitachi disks that store power on life in
3629 added -L option for printing self-test error logs
3631 in -l option, now print power on lifetime, so that one can see
3632 when the error took place
3634 updated SMART structure definitions to ATA-5 spec
3638 added -f and -F options to enable/disable autosave threshold
3641 changed argv parsing to use getops -- elminate buffer overflow
3644 expanded and corrected documentation
3646 fixed problem with smartd. It did not actually call
3647 ataSmartEnable()! Since the argument was left out, the test
3648 always suceeded because it evaluated to a pointer to the function.
3650 smartd: closed open file descriptors if device does not support
3651 smart. Note: this still needs to be fixed for SCSI devices
3654 smartmontools-5.0-0 STARTED with smartsuite-2.1-2
