1 smartmontools for Debian
2 ------------------------
4 To start smartd automatically on system startup set:
6 in /etc/default/smartmontools. If you only want to enable S.M.A.R.T. for a
7 device without running the daemon use the enable_smart variable.
9 Don't use enable_smart for any disk monitored by smartd, this is likely to
10 cause problems, especially for SATA (see e.g.
11 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=365027).
13 Package Maintainers and system administrators can put scripts to be run
14 when smartd detects an error into /etc/smartmontools/run.d. These
15 scripts will be run by smartd-runner using run-parts(8). The script will
16 receive the filename of the file containing the errormessage as first
17 parameter. See /etc/smartmontools/run.d/10mail for an example.
19 Upstream recommends running short self tests every day and long self tests once
22 Please read the file WARNINGS in this directory.
