   8 # signal

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

  26 # automatic online data collection, automatic Attribute autosave, and

  28 # Saturdays between 3-4am.

  38 # underlying disk type is actually ATA

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