5 | USB devices under Linux |
| 6 | ----------------------- | |
| 7 | Some USB devices can hang smartctl or smartd. This is because these | |
| 8 | devices fail to comply with SCSI specifications for their packet | |
| 9 | command sets. Work on improving the detection and bail-out procedures | |
| 10 | for these flawed devices, so that the user sees an informative error | |
| 11 | message and smartd/smartctl don't hang. | |

13 | ATA-8 |
| 14 | ----- | |
| 15 | Add ability to print counters/values from "Device Statistics" pages | |
| 16 | (General Purpose Log address 0x04). | |
| 17 | See ATA ACS-2 T13/2015-D Revision 1, Section A.5. | |

| 19 | smartctl/smartd | |
| 20 | --------------- | |
| 21 | Add additional -v options (corresponding to comments in | |
| 22 | atacmds.c:ataPrintSmartAttribName(). | |
| 23 | ||

24 | smartctl: |
| 25 | --------- | |
| 832b75ed GG |
26 | Parse and print additional Attribute flag meanings (IBM ones, eg |
| 27 | performance etc). These are now documented in atacmds.h -- we just | |
| 28 | need to modify the format of the Attribute table. | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | Modify the SMART self-test log table printing so that we ALSO print | |
| 31 | the value of the self-test failure checkpoint byte, if it's one of the | |
| 32 | recognized values. See routine SelfTestFailureCodeName and | |
| 33 | documentation in atacmds.h. | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | smartd: | |
| 36 | ------- | |
| 37 | Perhaps change <nomailer> special argument to -m to have also | |
| 38 | <nomailer_fork> which would actually work with -M exec to run the | |
| 39 | executable/script in the background rather than in the foreground. | |
| 40 | But let's wait for someone to request this. At that point we should | |
| 41 | probably use fork/exec rather than system(). | |
| 42 | ||
| 832b75ed GG |
43 | Add ability to monitor "worst" value from attributes (sometimes it |
| 44 | gets larger!) and to monitor the threshold value (sometimes it | |
| 45 | changes!). | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | Add command line option that scans devices then WRITES | |
| 48 | /etc/smartd.conf, perhaps as /etc/smartd.conf.output, just for devices | |
| 49 | that can be monitored. | |

51 | Packaging |
| 52 | --------- | |
| 53 | Under freebsd and solaris, the following are wrong: | |
| 54 | smartd.conf: has linux device paths | |
| 55 | smart*.in : man pages have (mostly) linux device paths | |

| 57 | configure packages with --enable-drivedb (?) | |
| 58 | configure packages with --enable-savestates (?) |
