665 As a side effect, '-d usbcypress+TYPE' is also supported.
667 [CF] Add parser to read drive database from a file. Add '-B' option
668 to smartctl and smartd to specify database file name. File syntax
669 is identical to the C/C++ syntax used to inialize the internal
672 [CF] New syntax for drive database: Specify presets by strings
673 with '-v' and '-F' options. Use empty strings instead of NULL.

691 [CF] Minor changes to fix errors and warnings from Cygwin gcc 4.3.0.
693 [CF] smartd: Remove SCSITIMEOUT code. According to smartd.h 1.54 CVS log
694 from 2003-10-27, it did never work.
696 [CF] Remove dependencies ataprint.cpp and scsiprint.cpp from smartd.
697 Move common ATA functions from ataprint.cpp to atacmds.cpp.
698 Module scsiprint.cpp was apparently never used in smartd.

737 remove 'ata_pass_through_28/48bit()' functions.
739 [CF] Add CVS date/time from cvsversion.h to man pages also.
741 [CF] Add configure option '--with-os-deps='os_module.o ...' to specify
742 alternate OS interface modules. Useful for testing during migration.
744 [CF] Remove declarations of 'optarg', 'optind', ..., include <unistd.h>
745 instead. This fixes 'auto-importing' linker warnings on Cygwin.
747 [CF] Add '-l sataphy[,reset]' to print SATA Phy Event Counters.
749 [CF] Add '-l gplog,ADDR[,FIRST[-LAST|+SIZE]]' and '-l smartlog,...'

799 [BA] Fix smartctl bug: when running in silent mode '-q errorsonly'
800 do not print the Selective Self-test log. Any errors will
801 ALREADY appear in the SMART Self-test log.
803 [CF] Add missing 'const' and other minor fixes to prevent gcc warnings.
805 [OB] Added information message about supported Areca firmware versions.
806 It's displayed in case the ATA device identification fails.
808 [CF] Add configuration file for Doxygen.
810 [CF] Add new object oriented interface to access ATA and SCSI devices.
811 smartctl and smartd are modified to use the new classes in
812 'dev_interface.{h,cpp}'. The template class in 'dev_tunnelled.h'
813 is used in 'scsiata.cpp'. The code in 'dev_ata_cmd_set.{h,cpp}'
814 supports migration from old function 'ata_command_interface()'.
815 All existing 'os_*.cpp' modules should still work without any changes.
816 The required adapter classes from 'dev_legacy.cpp' are automatically
817 added by configure if necessary.
819 [BA] Updated smartd and smartctl and smartd.conf man-page documentation
820 to reflect support for Areca SATA RAID controller cards.
822 [OB] Added support for Areca controllers to smartd. Extensive tests
823 as well as documentation are still pending however.
825 [OB] Implemented device locking for Areca controllers in smartctl
827 [BA] Fixed selective self-test code. Data structure revision number
828 may be != 1 if no selective self-test has ever been run. Host
829 MUST set this value (at least at the first selective self-test
830 instance). Thanks to Curtis Stevens of WDC for clarification.
832 [MC] usbcypress autodetection
834 [BA] Starting to commit Areca code. For now just smartctl.
835 More changes and documentation coming soon.
836 Need Areca firmware version 1.45 dated 10 June 2008 or later.
837 May need changes in opening /dev/sg and file locking.
838 Many thanks to Hank Wu!
840 [CF] smartd: Fix too small name buffer for 3ware with >100 devices.
842 [JH] now C++ Support for QNX Target
843 already tested for QNX 6.3.2 on x86 and armle target
845 [CF] Allow to set BUILD_INFO from make command line.
847 [CF] Windows: Add MSVC8 support, remove MSVC6 project files.
849 [MC] Add usbcypress device support for smartd.
851 [CF] Add output of latest CVS date/time stamp to version info.
852 New file cvsversion.h is generated by Makefile.
853 Move formatting of version info to utility.cpp.
855 [AR] Fix bug in 3ware node creation where nodes would be created
856 then deleted, then recreated.
858 [BA] Add missing CCISS cvs version tags to '-V' printouts.
860 [TS] Linux: Ensure the 3ware device nodes are created with a correct
861 SELinux security context.
863 [AR] Add support for up to 128 devices on 3ware controllers.
865 [CF] C++: Added new main() with exception handlers, replaced
866 exit(x) with throw(x), removed global variable 'exitstatus'.
867 Necessary for future changes, because exit() does not call
870 [SS] FreeBSD: plug file descriptor leak in smartd (only happens with
871 CISS devices). Reported by Vadim Ostranitsyn.
873 [SS] FreeBSD: allow smartctl to interact with SCSI /dev/pass devices,
874 thus enabling it to work with RAID controllers that expose disks
875 via these devices. From scottl@ via FreeBSD ports.
877 [MC] Add usbcypress device support for smartctl.
879 [KS] INSTALL on Solaris: updated description to use C++ compiler.
881 [KS] configure.in on Solaris: added options for Sun's compiler to
882 suppress trivial warnings.
884 [KS] configure.in on Solaris: added direction to search suitable
885 libraries for getaddrinfo().
887 [TS] smartd on Linux: remove forgotten return from deviceopen();
888 SCSI device descriptors had the FD_CLOEXEC flag unset.
890 [CF] Added 'const' to avoid warning on depreciated string constant
891 to 'char *' conversion.
893 [CF] autogen.sh: automake 1.10.1 is OK. Updated message texts.
895 [BA] removed smartmontools.spec file (now in CVS Attic). This
896 was not being used by RH or FC anyhow, and was out of
897 date and not maintained.
899 [BA] smartd on Linux: sets FD_CLOEXEC on the opened device file
900 descriptor. The descriptor is otherwise leaked to other
901 applications (mail sender) which may be considered a security
902 risk and may result in AVC messages on SELinux-enabled systems.
903 Thanks to: Tomá Smetana" <tsmetana@redhat.com>.
905 [BA] smartd: when sending email, to gather information about the
906 host for the body of the email, eliminate gethostbyname()
907 in favor of the IPv6-friendly function getaddrinfo() if the
908 latter is available. Info may be found here
909 http://udrepper.livejournal.com/16116.html
911 http://people.redhat.com/drepper/userapi-ipv6.html
912 Thanks to: Tomá Smetana" <tsmetana@redhat.com>.
914 Smartmontools developers: please check that smartd still LINKS
915 properly on your systems.
917 [BA] Fix ugly syntax bug in os_freebsd.cpp. How did this go
918 undetected for so long??
920 SMARTMONTOOLS STABLE RELEASE 5.38 2008/03/10
922 [KS] Solaris/x86: modified configure.in for Sun's compiler.
924 [BA] smartd.initd.in addition from Erwan Velu <erwan@seanodes.com>
928 - On Linux, DEVICESCAN now automatically recognizes SATA devices
929 behind libata, and SATA devices behind the Marvell driver, and
930 treats them correctly.
932 - On Linux, a '-d sat' or '-d marvell' is automatically added
933 if libata or the marvell driver are recognized behind a SCSI
936 [SS] (Maybe) fix attribute autosave in FreeBSD.
938 [SS] Major NetBSD-specific bugfixes:
939 - handle actual SCSI and ATA errors and not only ioctl() errors;
940 - set up I/O request properly for AUTO_OFFLINE and AUTOSAVE commands (inspired by
941 similar change in os_freebsd.cpp);
942 - handle AUTO_OFFLINE and AUTOSAVE like STATUS_CHECK (like os_linux.cpp does).
944 [GG] add kfreebsd gnu support to configure.in
946 [BA] Fix auto-offline support in FreeBSD. Thanks to
947 Cyrus Rahman <crahman@gmail.com> for the patch, and
948 Eduard Martinescu for blessing it.
950 [DG] smartd re-opens "SCSI" devices as ATA devices if a SAT layer is
951 detected (smartd bug IMO). In Linux this upsets scsi generic
952 device nodes (e.g. /dev/sg0). Detect the re-open in os_linux.cpp
953 and set the O_RDWR flag (ATA uses the O_RDONLY flag).
955 [CF] Drive database: Added Fujitsu MHW2 BH, Maxtor DiamondMax 17, 20, 21,
956 Hitachi Travelstar 4K40, 5K120, 7K200, Deskstar 7K160, T7K500,
957 T7K1000, Toshiba 1.8", Seagate Momentus 5400.3, 5400.3 ED, 7200.2,
958 Barracuda 7200.11 and ES.
959 Updated Toshiba 2.5", Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 and 7200.10.
960 Added missing "(Hitachi )?" to Travelstar entries.
962 [CF] Drive database: Added several Western Digital Caviar and Scorpio
963 drives, added Caviar RE EIDE family.
965 [CF] Drive database: Added Samsung P80 series with *-25 firmware.
967 [CF] Replaced 'head [-n] -1' by 'sed 1...' in autogen.sh to avoid
970 [BA] Fixed autogen.sh script so that it uses 'grep -n 1' if 'grep -1'
971 fails. Needed for Mac OS X 10.4. Uck.
973 [CF] Windows: Added IOCTL_STORAGE_PREDICT_FAILURE. This allows access
974 to ATA SMART status and data if other calls do not work.
975 Thanks to Jaroslaw Kowalski for pointing this out.
976 Added support to use this function without admin rights.
978 [CF] Added ATA-8 revision 4c message text.
980 [CF] Added compiler.h to cciss_ioctl.h header check to prevent
983 [SS] DragonFly support added (using os_freebsd code; untested).
985 [CF] smartctl: Fixed ATA identify byte swapping issue on big-endian
986 platforms. This regression was introduced by the change for
987 '-F swapid'. Thanks to Matthew Butch for bug report and testing.
989 [DG] SAT/SCSI: Improve SAT error processing code. Aborted commands from
990 ATA devices (typically because SMART was disabled) were not being
993 [GG] smartd: wait for the pid file to show up, return an error if it doesn't
995 [JH] fix bad return code (get STATUS) for QNX Part
997 [JH] initial porting to QNX Neutrino 6.3.2
998 need at this time a prerelease devb-eide driver and libcam.so.2
999 only tested for X86 Target, but devb-eide and lobcam.so.2 available for X86/ARM
1000 the officional driver coming soon with the next QNX release
1001 create two new source files os_qnxnto.[c..h]
1003 [CF] smartd: Added option '-n, --no-fork' so that smartd works
1004 better with modern init methods. Thanks to Enrico Scholz
1005 for the patch from 2005-12-24.
1007 [CF] Windows: Improved ATA/SCSI device type detection and
1008 DEVICESCAN. This also fixes a regression in 3ware DEVICESCAN.
1010 [CF] smartd: Don't start self tests in first pass to avoid
1011 performance problems during boot.
1012 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=192591
1014 [CF] Fixed regression in SMART STATUS command on Win9x/ME.
1016 [BA] Fixed 3ware issue with new controllers. Documentation said
1017 that one could address up to 24 disks on a single controller,
1018 but in fact one was limited to 16 disks. This is now fixed:
1019 up to 32 disks can be addressed. Thanks to Adam Radford.
1021 NOTE1: I have patched the Linux and FreeBSD code but not
1022 modified the Win32 code (it already supports up to 32 disks).
1024 NOTE2: NOT TESTED ON LINUX. Do not use this on a production box!
1025 I will remove this NOTE2 as soon as some positive test
1026 reports are recieved.
1028 NOTE3: NOT TESTED ON FREEBSD. Do not use this on a production box!
1029 I will remove this NOTE3 as soon as some positive test
1030 reports are recieved.
1032 [CF] Windows installer: Added explorer drive menu, CMD window,
1033 UBCD4Win plugin, smartd service update and other minor
1036 [CF] Windows: Modified drive letter handling for explorer drive
1037 context menu: try SCSI if type is unknown, allow 'X:\.' syntax.
1039 [CF] Windows: Added automatic ATA/SCSI device type detection and
1040 SCSI device scanning. The device names '/dev/sdX' and
1041 '/dev/pd<n>' now work for both ATA and SCSI disks.
1043 [CF] smartctl: Added ability to parse '-r ataioctl,2' output from
1044 stdin ('-') and simulate the ATA commands for testing purposes.
1046 [BA] SMART Attributes: added 187, 189, more accurate name for 190.
1048 [CF] Windows: Added drive letters 'X:' as alternate disk device names.
1050 [CF] smartctl: Added '-F swapid' to fix ATA identify string byte
1051 ordering. Added '-q noserial' to suppress serial number output.
1053 [CF] Windows: Added '/dev/n?st<n>' as alternate device names for SCSI
1054 tapes. These names are also used by Cygwin's /dev emulation layer.
1055 Thanks to Corinna Vinschen (Cygwin project lead) for pointing this
1058 [CF] Windows: Added IOCTL_SCSI_MINIPORT_*SMART* for commands not handled
1059 properly by SMART_IOCTL in disk class driver. This allows to use
1060 READ_LOG, WRITE_LOG and ABORT_SELFTEST even if the driver does not
1061 support ATA_PASS_THROUGH.
1063 [CF] Added ATA-8 revision 4, fixed WRITE LOG '-r ioctl' output.
1065 [BA] Updated smartctl and smartd so that they can be used with the latest
1066 3ware controllers which have 24 ports. Also updated docs.
1067 Thanks to Tim Bell at CERN.
1069 [GG] bit 4 in smartctl's return code might be set even when the dist check
1070 didn't return "DISK OK"
1072 [CF] Drive database: added '-F samsung3' for Samsung P80 firmware
1075 [SS] Applied patch from Dean Bennett to fix scheduled tests on
1076 Highpoint RAID controllers.
1078 [BA] Added patch from Tejun Heo http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/13222/focus=13235
1079 to fix broken auto-offline and auto-save via libata. Very clean fix: does it
1080 "the right way". Thanks Tejun!
1082 [CF] Added message text for ATA-7 self-test execution status 8
1083 ("... handling damage").
1085 [GG] cciss: support more than 16 disks (patch taken from
1086 http://cciss.sourceforge.net/smartmontools_cciss_more_than_16_drives.patch
1087 and adjusted for smartd)
1089 [DG] Solaris: [SCSI] add USCSI_RQENABLE flag to uscsi pass-through so
1090 sense buffer is made available. Expand reporting at this level.
1092 [GK] Darwin: Improve handling of powered-down drives.
1094 [SS] CCISS physical drive enumeration method changed (incompatibly).
1096 [CF] Fixed smartd crash on missing '-s' directive argument.
1098 [SS] Support CCISS on FreeBSD (kernel source is required until FreeBSD PR 109813
1101 [DG] SCSI/TAPE: some IBM tape drives don't react properly to a LOG
1102 SENSE with an allocation length of 4; work around for that case.
1104 [CF] Applied Guido's patch to fix CCISS LUN array bounds check
1105 (openSUSE bug #239956) and remove trailing spaces in
1108 [CF] Fixed 64-bit compilation issue in SCT status struct.
1110 [DG] SAT/SCSI: make real SCSI disks visible to DEVICESCAN in
1113 [CF] Fixed check of SCT temperature table size.
1115 [CF] Added ATA-8 draft revisions, added SCT status format 3.
1117 [CF] Drive database: added Samsung T166 series.
1119 [CF] ATA: Added ',p' option for '-t scttempint,N' to make
1122 [CF] ATA: Added '-t scttempint,N' option to set SCT temperature
1125 [CF] ATA: Added '-l scttemp[sts,hist]' options to print disk
1126 temperature information and history table provided by
1127 SMART Command Transport (SCT) Feature Set.
1129 [CF] ATA: Added '-t selective,{redo,next,cont}' commands to
1130 perform tests based on the last ranges still stored on
1131 disk. Added 'N+SIZE' and 'N-max' format for LBA range
1134 [CF] Added Min/Max Temperature format used in attribute 190 of
1135 recent Maxtor disks (DiamondMax 20).
1137 [CF] Linux: Added check for <linux/cciss_ioctl.h> to allow build
1138 (without CCISS support) also when this file is missing.
1140 [CF] Added -F samsung3 option to correct firmware bug reporting
1141 completed self-tests as still in progress. Thanks to Manfred
1142 Schwarb for the patch.
1144 [CF] Added missing const specifiers (undetected by gcc 3.4 and 4.X)
1145 to fix compilation with gcc 2.X.
1147 [CF] Linux: compile fix for SuSE, config.h must be included first.
1149 smartmontools 5.37 Experimental Release
1151 [CF] Windows: Added alternate method for (limited) monitoring of
1152 3ware controllers by parsing the output of CLI or 3DM.
1153 Either "tw_cli" can be run internally ("/dev/tw_cli/cx/py"),
1154 or data can be read from standard input ("/dev/tw_cli/stdin")
1155 or clipboard ("/dev/tw_cli/clip").
1157 [DG] Remove linux specific libata detect code; rely on general SAT
1158 code. smartd should now generate a sensible log message for
1159 ATA devices behind a SAT layer on all architectures.
1161 [BA] Increased max line length MAXLINELEN for /etc/smartd.conf from
1162 128 to 256 characters to handle long strings in

1187 7200.1 family, Toshiba 2.5" HDD family (80 GB and above), Western
1188 Digital Caviar RE Serial ATA family, Hitachi Deskstar 7K80 family,
1189 and Maxtor DiamondMax 4320 Ultra ATA family
1191 [BA] Linux: compile fix for SuSE. Check for existence
1192 of linux/compiler.h and include in os_linux.h if
1193 present. Thanks to SB.
1195 [BA] smartd: DEVICESCAN will now pick up SATA/SAT devices
1196 attached to a SCSI device tree via SAT translation.
1197 Note: this is a bit of a hack. I will document it once
1198 I know if this needs to be Linux only or can have more
1199 general application.
1201 [BA] Added a couple SATA commands to the tables -- thanks DG!
1202 Phil -- how about going through and systematically adding
1203 these new commands to atacmdnames.cpp?

1251 SE (Serial ATA) and WD Raptor families
1253 [CF] Windows: Added support for 3ware 9000 controllers using extended
1254 SMART functionality in new 3ware driver. This includes DEVICESCAN
1255 support for at most 2 controllers. Thanks to Greg de Valois from
1256 AMCC/3ware for new driver features, development support and
1257 hardware for testing.
1259 [SZ] smartd: Support HighPoint RocketRAID controller under GNU/linux
1261 [DG] [SCSI] First cut for '-l background' to show background scan

1268 [BA] C++ compile fixes for Darwin (thanks to CF)
1270 [CF] Removed old *.c files (now in CVS Attic).
1272 [CF] Added changes for C++ to platform independent and Windows
1275 [BA] Tagged last .c Version with PRE_MOVE_TO_CPP. Copied *.c,v
1276 to *.cpp,v in CVS repository to preserve history of source
1277 files. Removed sm5_Darwin repository.
1279 [CF] smartctl: Added -n option to skip checks when disk is in
1282 [CF] Windows: Added alternate system call for power state check
1283 because the PASS THROUGH calls may spin up the disk.
1285 [CF] smartd: Modified power state logging to report state changes
1286 instead of standby condition.
1288 [CF] smartd: Ignore -n directive on scheduled self tests.
1290 [DG] [SCSI] Make start stop cycle counter log page decoding
1293 [DG] Modify smartctl (but not smartd) to detect probable ATA
1294 devices behind a SAT layer. In the absence of an explicit
1295 device type, change to device type 'sat'.
1297 [DG] Add indication that controller (device) type has been
1298 explicitly set. Preparation for automatic detection of
1299 'sat' device type unless user specifies a device type.
1301 [SS] NetBSD: Deliver strings from ata_identify_device properly
1302 on little- and big-endian platforms.
1304 [BA] Added published ANSI ATA-7 spec to list of recognized ATA
1307 [BA] Code janitor: added missing header strings for '-V' option.
1309 [DG] [SATA] Extend 'sat' device type to allow either 12 or 16 byte
1310 variant of the SAT ATA PASS THROUGH SCSI command. Syntax is
1311 '-d sat,<n>' where <n> can be 0, 12 or 16 . The ',<n>' part
1312 is optional. Currently defaults to 16 byte variant but that
1313 could be made platform or even device dependent.
1315 [DG] [SATA] Add new 'sat' device type for SATA disks behind a
1316 SCSI to ATA Translation (SAT) Layer (SATL). Uses the ATA
1317 PASS THROUGH (16) SCSI command thence the generic SCSI
1318 passthrough for each platform.
1320 [CF] Windows: Added script and make targets to create installer
1321 with NSIS (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/)
1323 [CF] Updated hostname and links for new SourceForge CVS service.
1325 [CF] smartd: Added '-W' directive to track temperature changes
1326 and warn if temperature limits are reached.
1328 [CF] Windows: Added IOCTL_ATA_PASS_THROUGH (Win2003, XP SP2)
1329 for commands unsupported by SMART_IOCTL. Added device
1330 specific options to select subset and ordering of the ATA
1331 IOCTLs actually used. These options are specified as
1332 modifiers of the device name (/dev/hd[a-j]:[saic]+)
1334 [CF] Windows: Added support for drives 4-7 (/dev/hd[e-h]) via
1335 SMARTVSE.VXD on Win9x/ME. Thanks to Dariusz Rzonca for
1338 [DG] [SCSI/SATA linux] from lk 2.6.17 SATA disk identification in
1339 libata will change. Expand LibAta detection to see old
1340 identifier and new variant (VPD page 0x83).
1342 [BA] Identified Attribute 190 for Western Digital disks. This
1343 stores temperature in Celsius, just like Attribute 194.
1344 But it has a failure threshold set to correspond to the
1345 maximum design operating temperature of the disk, which
1346 is 55 Celsius on the WD800JD drives that I studied.
1347 So if this Attribute has 'failed
1348 in the past' this means that the maximum disk operating
1349 temperature has been exceeded.
1351 [GK] Darwin: Add support for AHCI drivers found in Intel-based Macs.
1353 smartmontools 5.36 Stable Release
1355 [BA] Linux: smartd/smartctl issue syntax hints to user if 3ware
1356 disk controller present with EITHER 3ware OR AMCC vendor
1357 name, and user syntax incorrect.
1359 [BA] Update copyright dates to 2006.
1361 [DG] [SCSI] Loosen sanity check on Seagate/Hitachi factory information
1362 log page so it is not skipped on recent Seagate SCSI disks.

1366 [CF] Added command 'smartctl -P showall MODEL [FIRMWARE]' to list
1367 database entries for specific drives and firmware.
1369 [PW] Automatically set -v 9,minutes and -v 194,unknown for Maxtor
1370 DiamondMax D540X-4G drives.
1372 [DG] [SCSI] suppress various outputs when data fails sanity checks.
1373 Correct 'last n error events' log page indexing.
1375 [DG] [SCSI] changed smartctl exit status to reflect any problems in
1376 the most recent 20 self test logs [Leandro Santi]
1378 [DG] [SCSI] Fix process return value when scsiGetSmartData() fails
1379 in smartctl [Leandro Santi]
1381 [BA] Updated docs and error message to reflect Linux libata
1382 support for smartmontools starting with the 2.6.15 kernel
1383 series. Also init script support for the 'tinysofa' release.
1385 [DG] [SCSI] Mask dpofua bit when changing mode pages. Fix failure
1386 of 'smartctl -l error'.
1388 [EM] Fixed a problem with FreeBSD and 3Ware 'twe' devices
1390 [CF] Fixed a regexp in knowndrives table, added regexp syntax check
1391 via 'smartctl -P showall'.
1393 [CF] Cygwin & Windows: Fixed memory leak in function calling
1394 IOCTL_IDE_PASS_THROUGH. Thanks to Fred Schmidt for the problem
1397 [CF] Cygwin: added cygrunsrv support and commands "install", "remove"
1398 and "status" to smartd.initd.
1400 [SS] Fix runtime problems on big-engian NetBSD platforms (patch provided
1403 [CF] Cygwin smartd: Open smartd.conf in textmode to allow use of
1406 [CF] Cygwin smartd: Added option '--service' to allow smartd running
1407 as windows service via cygrunsrv. Useful in conjunction with new
1408 syslogd support added in Cygwin 1.5.15.
1410 [CF] Windows: Added patch to avoid output of non-ascii timezone names.
1412 [EM] Incorporate various patches to provide TWE support and support for
1413 multiple 3Ware cards, Power Check Support, and FreeBSD 6.x support.
1414 Thanks to Rudolf Cejka, Frank Behrens, and Jung-uk Kim.
1416 [DG] Silence gcc 4.0.1 compile warning concerning the difference in
1417 "signedness" in pointer assignments. Changes to SCSI code

1435 added Maxtor DiamondMax 17 VL series, added Hitachi Deskstar 7K80
1436 series, and added Hitachi Deskstar 7K400 series.
1438 [CF] Windows: Fixed unsupported 'smartctl -X' on Win2000/XP by using
1439 IOCTL_IDE_PASS_THROUGH instead.
1441 smartmontools 5.34 Stable Release [NOTE: never officially released]
1443 [CF] Cygwin & Windows smartd: Increased SCSI DEVICESCAN range
1444 from ASPI adapter 0-3 to 0-9. Added diagnostic messages.
1446 [CF] Windows smartd: Added ability to run .bat files via '-M exec'
1449 [CF] Cygwin smartd: Added FreeConsole() after fork() to avoid hang
1450 of terminated shell console window.
1452 [DG] [SCSI] Add code so 'smartctl -A' outputs the number of elements
1453 in the grown defect list. When this number is increasing a
1454 disk has problems. N.B. Similar logic should be added to smartd.
1456 [CF] Windows smartd: Fixed event handling to allow start of another
1457 smartd process when service is already running. Useful for testing
1458 service configuration changes in debug mode.
1460 [PW] Added following drives to knowndrives table: Western Digital Raptor
1461 family, Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 family, Maxtor DiamondMax 2160

1465 Western Digital Caviar AC14300.
1467 [PW] Added missing Fujitsu MHTxxxxAT and Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 drives
1468 to knowndrives table.
1470 [PW] Added QUANTUM FIREBALLP LM10.2 to knowndrives table. Thanks to
1471 Mike Fleetwood for submitting the patch.
1473 [KS] Solaris/SPARC: fixed not to disable automatic offline test and
1474 automatic save attributes incorrectly. Thanks to Roy Badami.
1476 [BA] Linux: smartd init script now recognizes 'trustix' distro.
1478 [DG] [SCSI] Medium and hardware errors were slipping through
1479 unreported. Fix linux SCSI sense reporting via SG_IO ioctl.
1481 [DG] [SCSI] Change lba of first failure in selftest output to
1482 decimal (was hex) to conform with ATA output.
1484 [GK] smartd: Detect most self-test failures even if the hour counter
1487 [BA] smartctl: list 'marvell' as option if user give invalid
1490 [CF] Windows: fixed SCSI timeout handling to allow long timeouts
1493 [CF] Fixed buffer overflow issues in printone() and safe_vsnprintf()
1494 which results in crash on -V option (at least on Windows).
1496 [DG] [SCSI] Add explicit timeouts to INQUIRY and REQUEST SENSE (that
1497 were missed in an earlier patch). Could have impacted freebsd.
1499 [DG] When linux detects a sata_via_libata disk suggest that user try
1500 '-d ata' (rather then '-d libata). Anticipate kernel change.
1502 [YD] Added OS/2 and eComStation platform support.
1504 [PW] Added Seagate U4 family, Fujitsu MHJ and MHK families, Seagate
1505 Barracuda 5400.1, QUANTUM FIREBALLP KX27.3, QUANTUM FIREBALLP KA10.1,
1506 and ExcelStor J340 to knowndrives table.
1508 [DG] [SCSI] After report of Hitachi IC35L073UCDY10 disks locking up
1509 on log page 0x7 (last n error events), check log page (and some
1510 others) is supported (via log page 0x0) before probing.
1512 [CF] Added safe_v?snprintf() for platforms using v?snprintf()
1513 with non standard behaviour on overflow (Windows, old Linux)
1515 [CF] smartd: Added message if check power mode spins up disk.
1517 [CF] Windows: Added support for READ_LOG on WinNT4 using undocumented
1518 pseudo SCSI command via IOCTL_SCSI_PASS_THROUGH.
1520 [CF] smartd: Added ',q' option for '-n' directive to suppress 'skipping
1521 checks' log message. This prevents a laptop disk from spinning up
1522 due to this message. Thanks to Rob MacLachlan and Manfred Schwarb
1523 for pointing out problem & solution.
1525 [CF] Windows: Added function get_os_version_str() to show OS flavor in
1528 [CF] Windows: Added function ata_identify_is_cached() to check for outdated
1529 SMART enabled bit in identify data.
1531 [CF] Windows: Added fix to prevent linkage of smartd specific win32 modules
1534 [PW] Added Fujitsu MPG3153AH, Hitachi Endurastar J4K20/N4K20 (formerly
1535 DK23FA-20J), Seagate Momentus family, and Maxtor Fireball 3 family
1536 to knowndrives table.
1538 [PW] Added missing Maxtor DiamondMax 16, Seagate Barracuda ATA IV, and
1539 Western Digital Caviar WDxxxAA/WDxxxBA drives to knowndrives table.
1541 [CF] Windows: Added ATA check power mode for smartd -n directive.
1543 [CF] Windows: Fixed use of new service status flag which causes hang
1544 of smartd service on WinNT4.
1546 [CF] Windows: Fixed error checking of IOCTL_IDE_PASS_THROUGH (used
1547 for READ_LOG on 2000/XP). Added some diagnostic messages on
1548 -r ataioctl[,2]. Thanks to Manfred Schwarb for bug report and testing.
1550 [BA] Fixed code bug that made it impossible to enable SMART on
1551 disks with failing health status. This would happen if the
1552 os_*.c author made STATUS and STATUS_CHECK work the same way.
1553 I have corrected this at a higher level; we now handle the
1554 case where STATUS and STATUS_CHECK are identical without
1557 [LW] Make os_linux.c/marvell_command_interface() always return 0 on STATUS.
1558 Needed for a disk having bad SMART status.
1560 [CF] smartctl: Added drive family printing.
1562 [CF] autogen.sh: Allow automake 1.9, added message if automake
1565 [BA] smartctl: use locale-specific separators for printing disk
1566 capacity. Also use AC_CHECK_HEADERS not AC_CHECK_HEADER in
1569 [BA] clean-up of #include structure so that -V options to smartd
1570 and smartctl work correctly. Please, don't #include header
1571 files into other header files.
1573 smartmontools 5.33 Experimental Release
1575 [BA] smartctl: ATA disks, if SMART ATTRIBUTE THRESHOLDS page has ID
1576 errors with some Attributes having NULL IDs, print Attribute
1577 info anyway (but issuing a warning to the user).
1579 [DG] [SCSI] Decode Last n error events log page; decode track following
1580 and positioning errors [Hitachi]
1582 [EM] FreeBSD: another tweak, __packed__ introduced in Version 5.0040
1584 [EM] Cleaner tweak of fixes for FreeBSD 4.x.
1586 [EM] Fix compilation errors under FreeBSD 4.x, as it is still using
1589 [EM] Remove 3ware/FreeBSD specific files and just include pieces we need
1591 [DG] Add logic in smartd to detect 3ware, Marvell controllers and SATA
1592 disks behind an ATA-SCSI simulator (in Linux). If specific device
1593 types are not given and they are picked in a general SCSI device
1594 scan then warn and skip.
1596 [GG] insert correct path to smartd into smartd's init script
1598 [BA] Changed all default paths in documentation to reflect /usr/local as
1599 default path prefix. This affects on-line man pages, primarily.
1601 [DS] Added support for OpenBSD
1603 [BA] Added another environment variable SMART_FULLMESSAGE set by
1604 the smartd mailing feature, and modified examplescripts/Example1
1607 [BA] Fixed potentially misleading messages of the form:
1610 [DG] emit warning if SATA disk detected using libata in Linux; then exit
1612 [PW] Added Seagate U10 family, Hitachi Travelstar 7K60, Fujitsu MHR2020AT,
1613 and QUANTUM FIREBALLP AS20.5 to knowndrives table.
1615 [DG] Detect 3ware and Marvell controllers from SCSI INQUIRY vendor string
1616 and suggest usage of appropriate '-d' argument in smartctl.
1618 [LW] Tested the RELEASE_5_33_WITH_MARVELL_SUPPORT branch on
1619 actual Marvell 88SX5041 hardware, with success.
1622 [BA] Fixed nasty DEVICESCAN bug
1624 [BA] Checked in RELEASE_5_33_WITH_MARVELL_SUPPORT branch with
1625 some Marvell support.
1627 [BA] Additional modifications of Ed's controller scheme. Fixed
1628 broken 3ware support under linux, problems with scanning
1629 devices in smartd, and other small problems.
1631 [CF] Added make targets to build formatted man pages (htmlman, txtman),
1632 Windows distribution (dist-win32) and MSVC6 config.h (config-vc6).
1634 [EM] Minor change to FreeBSD inclusion of 'twe' include files. Add
1635 code to check if they exising in /usr/include/sys to use those
1636 in preference to ones added here
1638 [EM] Very preliminary support attempt for 3Ware controllers under
1639 FreeBSD. Also, switched 'escalade_type/escalade_port' to
1640 'controler_type/controller_port' and moved away from
1641 'tryata/tryscsi' to using new 'controller*' variables to
1642 determine which controller type (ATA/SCSI/3Ware) to use.
1644 [GK] Added initscript support for Darwin.
1646 [CF] Windows smartd: Added ability to run smartd as a windows service,
1647 including new commands "smartd install ..." and "smartd remove"
1648 to install and remove the service registry entry.
1650 [BA] smartd: warn user if -s regexp regular expression contains
1651 characters other than 0123456789.*()|+?[-]{}:=SLCO since such
1652 characters are 'suspicous' and may indicate a poorly formed
1653 regexp. Extended regular expression gurus: can this list be
1656 [CF] Fixed bug in Windows smartd: Missing close of config file when
1657 configuration is reloaded by smartd daemon.
1659 [CF] Windows smartd: Added mail warning feature using the "Blat"
1660 (http://blat.sourceforge.net/) mailer as a default.
1662 [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 5120 Ultra ATA 33 series and TOSHIBA
1663 MK3017GAP to knowndrives table.
1665 [CF] Added fixes to build smartmontools on old Linux systems
1666 (libc < 6, Kernel 2.0.x).
1668 [BA] Added ATA minor version identity strings for latest ATA specification
1669 updates: ATA/ATAPI-7 T13 1532D revision 4a and ATA/ATAPI-6 published,
1670 ANSI INCITS 361-2002

1683 [GK] Added os_darwin.[ch]
1685 [PW] Added the following drives to the knowndrives table: IBM Travelstar
1686 48GH, 30GN, and 15GN family; IBM Deskstar 37GP and 34GXP family;
1687 Western Digital WDC WD272AA; Maxtor DiamondMax D540X-4D family;
1688 TOSHIBA MK2016GAP, MK2018GAP, MK2018GAS, MK2023GAS; and
1689 QUANTUM FIREBALL ST3.2A
1691 [BA] smartd/smarctl now print build HOST/OS information as part
1692 of startup slogan. This should make it slightly easier to
1693 read bug reports from users.
1695 [RZ] Fixed the DEVICESCAN to do what it was supposed to do - give
1696 error message unless scanning is in progress.
1698 [BA] Update documentation to describe 3ware character devices. Better
1699 error detection for missing/malfunctioning devices behind 3ware
1700 controllers. Now pack 3ware ioctl structures explicitly.
1702 [BA] For ATA devices that support LBA mode, print capacity as part
1705 [RZ] Made DEVICESCAN quiet about non-existing devices unless debug
1708 [DG] treat "unit attention" SCSI warning as try again in some contexts
1709 (test unit ready and mode sense)
1711 [BA] on drives that store max/min rather than min/max, get order
1712 correct in printing temp.
1714 [BA] fixed typo in 'smartctl -h' output. Thanks to Gabor Z. Papp.
1716 [BA] linux: clean-up to 3ware/AMCC support; dynamically create
1717 or fix /dev/tw[ae][0-15] device node entries if they don't
1718 exist or are incorrect. One can now use the character devices
1719 /dev/twe[0-15] OR /dev/sd? for 3ware 6000/7000/8000 series
1720 cards. One must use /dev/twa[0-15] for 3ware 9000 series cards.
1721 Note that selective self-tests now work via /dev/tw[ae] devices.
1722 Next step: documentation.
1724 [BA] linux: experimental "support" for 3ware/AMCC 9000 series
1725 controllers that use the 3w-9xxx driver. This will be in a
1726 state of flux for a few days. Note that this requires the
1727 character interface /dev/twa[0-15].
1729 [DG] linux: extend general SCSI OS interface to use the SG_IO ioctl. If
1730 not available, use the older SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND ioctl.
1732 [KS] Solaris/x86: fixed system identification problem in configure
1733 script. Thanks to Stuart Swales.
1737 [BA] Update link to revised/updated IBM Deskstar Firmware
1739 [CF] Cygwin & Windows: Added missing ASPI manager initialization
1740 with GetASPI32SupportInfo(). Thanks to Nikolai SAOUKH for pointing
1741 this out and providing a patch.
1743 [BA] modified smartd init script to work on whitebox (thanks to
1746 [BA] removed (reverted) additional Attribute definitions from
1747 http://smart.friko.pl/attributes.php. All (or most?) of these
1748 appear to be return code values for the WD Digital Life Guard Utility.
1750 [PW] Added Seagate Medalist 17242, 13032, 10232, 8422, and 4312 to
1751 knowndrives table. Added missing Seagate U Series 5 drives.
1753 [PW] Added the following QUANTUM models to knowndrives table:
1754 FIREBALL EX6.4A, FIREBALLP AS10.2, FIREBALLP AS40.0, FIREBALL CR4.3A,
1755 FIREBALLP LM15, FIREBALLP LM30, and FIREBALLlct20 30
1757 [PW] Added missing Western Digital Protege drives to knowndrives table.
1759 [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax 40 ATA 66 series and DiamondMax 40 VL Ultra
1760 ATA 100 series to knowndrives table.
1762 [PW] Added the following Hitachi/IBM drives to knowndrives table:
1763 HITACHI_DK14FA-20B, Travelstar 40GNX series, Travelstar 4LP series,
1764 and Travelstar DK23XXB series. Added the missing Travelstar 80GN
1767 [PW] Added Fujitsu MPB series and MPG series to knowndrives table. Added
1768 the missing Fujitsu MHSxxxxAT drives.
1770 [KS] Solaris: added workaround for dynamic change of time-zone.
1772 [KS] Solaris: fixed problem that autogen.sh cannot detect absence of
1775 [BA] smartd: added time-zone bug information to man page.
1776 Reverted CF code for _WIN32 case.
1778 [CF] Cygwin & Windows: Added better error messages on IDE/ATA device
1781 [BA] added additional Attribute definitions from
1782 http://smart.friko.pl/attributes.php
1784 [BA] smartd: reworked TimeZone bug workaround so it is only invoked
1785 for glibc. Note: this might not be right -- a similar bug may
1786 exist in other platform's libcs.
1788 [DG] SCSI smartmontools documentation updated [2004/5/6]. See:
1789 http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/smartmontools_scsi.html
1791 [CF] Windows: Fixed reset of TZ=GMT in glibc timezone bug workaround.
1795 [DG] move SCSI device temperature and start-stop log page output
1796 (smartctl) into --attributes section (was in --info section).
1798 [GG] change default installation location to /usr/local
1800 [CF] Cygwin smartd: Fixed crash on access of SCSI devices after fork().
1802 [PW] Added TOSHIBA MK4018GAS and the following Maxtor drive families
1803 to knowndrives table: DiamondMax D540X-4G, Fireball 541DX,
1804 DiamondMax 3400 Ultra ATA, DiamondMax Plus 6800 Ultra ATA 66.
1806 [PW] Added missing Maxtor DiamondMax 16, DiamondMax D540X-4K, and
1807 DiamondMax Plus 45 Ulta ATA 100 drives to knowndrives table.
1809 [PW] Added ExcelStor J240, Hitachi Travelstar 80GN family, Fujitsu
1810 MHTxxxxAT family, and IBM Deskstar 25GP and 22GXP families to
1813 [CF] Cygwin smartd: Added workaround for missing SIGQUIT via keyboard:
1814 To exit smartd in debug mode, type CONTROL-C twice.
1816 [BA] smartctl: printing of the selective self-test log is now
1817 controlled by a new option: -l selective
1819 [BA] Added entries for Samsung firmware versions -25 to -39 based
1820 on latest info about firmware bug fixes.
1822 [PW] Added Seagate U Series X family, Seagate U8 family, and Seagate
1823 Medalist 8641 family to knowndrives table.
1825 [CF] smartd: Added exit values 5/6 for missing/unreadable config file.
1827 [BA] smartd: now monitor the Current Pending Sector count (Attribute 197)
1828 and the Offline Pending Sector Count (Attribute 198). Log a
1829 warning (and send an email, if so configured) if the raw count
1830 is nonzero. These are controlled by new Directives: -C and -U.
1831 Currently they are enabled by default.
1833 [CF] Added option -c FILE, --configfile=FILE to smartd to specify
1834 an alternate configuration FILE or '-' for standard input.
1836 [KS] configure.in now searches for -lnsl and -lsocket for Solaris.
1838 [CF] Win32/native smartd: Added thread to combine several syslog output
1839 lines into one single event log entry.
1841 [CF] Win32 smartd: Added DEVICESCAN for SCSI/ASPI devices.
1843 [GG] Use gethostbyname() the get the DNS domain since getdomainname()
1844 returns the NIS domain when sending mails from smartd.
1846 [GG] smartd.init.in: pass smartd_opts to smartd on startup, read distribution
1847 specific configuration files if found
1849 [SS] smartctl: added NetBSD support for Selective Self-tests.
1851 [BA] smartd.conf example configuration file now has all examples
1852 commented out except for 'DEVICESCAN'.
1854 [CF] Win32/native smartd: Added ability to display warning "emails"
1855 as message box by "-m msgbox" directive. With "-m sysmsgbox",
1856 a system modal (always on top) message box is shown.
1858 [BA] smartctl: printing of self-test log for disks that support
1859 Selective self-testing now shows the status of the (optional)
1860 read-scan after the selective self test. Also, changed format
1861 in printing self-test log to print failing LBA in base 10 not
1862 base 16 (more compatible with kernel error messages). Also,
1863 in printing SMART error log, print timestamps in format
1864 days+hours+minutes+seconds.
1866 [CF] Win32 smartd: Added ability to log to stdout/stderr
1867 (-l local1/2). Toggling debug console still works
1868 if stdout is redirected.
1870 [BA] smartctl: selective self-test log, print current status
1871 in a more detailed way. Allow writing of selective self-test
1872 log provided that no other self-test is underway.
1874 [BA] Linux: eliminated dependency on kernel tree hdreg.h.
1876 [BA] smartctl: -l selftest option now prints Selective self-test
1877 log in addition to the normal self-test log.
1878 Added additional options (-t pending, -t afterselect) to
1879 control remaining Selective Self-test capabilities. Tested
1880 with several Maxtor disks. Modified error message printing
1881 so that munged option messages print at the end not the
1884 [CF] Added daemon support to Win32 native version of smartd.
1885 The daemon can be controlled by commands similar to initd
1886 scripts: "smartd status|stop|reload|restart|sigusr1|sigusr2".
1888 [CF] Added minor support for option "-l local[0-7]" to Win32 native
1889 (not Cygwin) version of smartd. If specified, the log output
1890 is written to file "./smartd[1-7]?.log" instead of event log.
1892 [BA] Added Selective Self-test to smartctl (-t selective,M-N).
1893 Currently only supported under Linux; Solaris, NetBSD, FreeBSD
1894 and Windows developers must add WRITE LOG functionality to
1897 [BA] Added workaround for an annoying glibc bug: if you change
1898 timezones, (eg, flying with a laptop from USA to Europe)
1899 localtime() does not notice this in a running
1900 executable, so time that appears in the system log (syslog!)
1901 will be incorrect. See
1902 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=48184
1903 for additional examples of this bug.
1905 [DG] Set explicit timeouts for SCSI commands (most default to 6 seconds).
1906 Previously a 0 second timeout was meant to be interpreted as a
1907 default timeout but the FreeBSD port had a problem in this area.
1909 [CF] Fixed un-thread-safe exit signal handler for Win32
1911 [BA] Fixed un-thread-safe exit signal handler pointed out
1914 [BA] Changed configure script to eliminate warnings under
1915 Solaris from sys/int_type.h conflicts with int64.h
1916 Added header files for umask to smartd.c.
1918 [BA] Man page format change from Werner LEMBERG. " " changed to \&
1920 [CF] Added os_win32/syslogevt.* event message file tool for Win32
1921 smartd (native+cygwin). May also be useful for other cygwin
1922 programs writing to syslog().
1924 [CF] Added Win32 version of smartd
1926 [CF] Merged RELEASE_5_26_WIN32_BRANCH
1928 [BA] Made some changes to man page markup suggested by
1929 Richard Verhoeven to work around bugs in man2html.
1930 Tested not to break anything under Linux and Solaris.
1932 [CF] Moved PrintOut() from utility.c to smart{ctl,d}.c to avoid
1933 syslog() output of smartctl.
1935 [BA] Grew worried that some time-zone names could be very long (eg,
1936 Mitteleuropaische Zeit) and put date string lengths into a
1937 single macro in utility.c
1939 [EM] Updated os_freebsd.c to handle older versions of FreeBSD in a
1940 more appropriate/obvious fashion.
1942 [EM] Modified autogen.sh as FreeBSD installs automake 1.7 as
1943 'automake17' and NOT 'automake-1.7'
1947 [PW] Added QUANTUM FIREBALLlct15 30, QUANTUM FIREBALLlct20 40, and
1948 Maxtor 6Y060P0 (DiamondMax Plus 9 60GB) to knowndrives table.
1950 [PW] Added Maxtor MaXLine II family to knowndrives table (thanks to
1951 Brett Russ for submitting the patch).
1953 [BA] Added remaining read/write commands to detailed list of
1954 error log commands that have text descriptions of problem
1955 printed. For commands that support it, print number of failed
1956 sectors at problem LBA.
1958 [BA] Made SuSE section of smartd init script more SuSE 9 compatible.
1959 Thanks to Hans-Peter Jansen.
1961 [CF] Windows smartd: Added IDE/ATA device scan
1962 Added windows device names to smartctl.8.in, smartd.8.in
1964 [BA] smartctl/smartd: user-provided '-F samsung' and '-F samsung2'
1965 command line options/Directives did NOT over-ride preset values
1966 unless user specified '-P ignore'. Now they will always over-ride
1967 preset values from the database.
1969 [BA] Added error decoding for a few more READ and WRITE commands.
1971 [PW] Added Maxtor MaXLine Plus II, Western Digital Caviar SE (Serial ATA)
1972 series, Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 series, and Ultra ATA 66 models of
1973 the Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 40 series to knowndrives table.
1975 [BA] Added Maxtor Diamondmax 250 GB drives to database. Note that
1976 these model numbers are not listed in Maxtor documentation, but
1979 [BA] Removed the 'contact developers' phrase from the Samsung disk
1982 [PW] Added TOSHIBA MK2017GAP, IBM Deskstar 14GXP and 16GP series,
1983 Fujitsu MPC series, Seagate Barracuda ATA III family, and missing
1984 Seagate Barracuda U Series drives to knowndrives table
1986 [BA] smartd: wrong loglevel for message: Configuration file
1987 /etc/smartd.conf parsed. Changed to LOG_INFO from LOG_CRIT.
1988 Thanks to Emmanuel CHANTREAU for the report.
1990 [CF] Checked in development version of windows code base.
1992 smartmontools 5.29 (note: there was NO 5.28 release)
1994 [BA] smartd: configure script did not set correct directory to search for
1995 smartd.conf based on --prefix argument to ./configure. Thanks to
1996 GG for identifying the problem and fix.
1998 [BA] make clean now removes man pages (generated from *.in) files as well
2001 [EM] Correct copying of sense data in FreeBSD SCSI implementation. Thanks
2002 to Sergey Svishchev for noticing the bug.
2004 [BA] On solaris, wrong warning message if no ATA support. Warning message
2005 concerns 3ware controller, not ATA.
2007 [SS] Added SCSI support for NetBSD.
2009 [BA] on big-endian linux machines, fixed interpretation of HDIO_GET_IDENTITY
2010 to correctly identify ATAPI bit (was byte swapped). This should
2011 eliminate some SYSLOG noise if user queries a packet device (eg, CD
2014 [PW] Removed warning for IBM Deskstar 40GV & 75GXP series drives with
2015 A5AA/A6AA firmware. Thanks to Gerald Schnabel.
2017 [PW] Added Toshiba TOS MK3019GAXB SUN30G to knowndrives table
2019 [PW] Added Western Digital Caviar AC12500, AC24300, AC25100, AC36400,
2020 and AC38400 to knowndrives table
2022 [BA] When printing ATA error log, print the LBA at which READ
2023 or WRITE commands failed.
2025 [BA] Changed syntax of error message in smartctl
2027 [BA] Added versioning info (-V options to smartd/smartctl) for
2032 [KS] Added ATA/IDE support for Solaris/SPARC (ATA/IDE not yet for
2035 [BA] 3ware controllers: documented that one can monitor any of the
2036 physical disks from any of the 3ware /dev/sd? logical devices.
2037 Better warnings if querying a disk that does not exist.
2039 [PW] Added Hitachi Travelstar DK23DA series, Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 40
2040 series, Western Digital Caviar WDxxxAA, WDxxxBA, and WDxxxAB series
2041 to knowndrives table
2043 [BA] missing 'pragma pack' on ATA IDENTIFY DEVICE structure may have
2044 caused odd or incorrect results on 64-bit machines.
2046 [BA] smartctl/smartd allow inspection of self-test and error logs even
2047 if disk firmware claims that these don't exist. This is needed
2048 for some Maxtor disks whose firmware does not indicate log support
2049 even though the disk DOES support it.
2051 [BA] Improved porting instructions and documentation in os_generic.c
2053 [PW] Add Western Digital Caviar WD136AA and SAMSUNG SP40A2H (RR100-07
2054 firmware) to knowndrives table.
2056 [EM] FreeBSD: remove extra definition of FreeNonZero
2058 [BA] smartctl: the -q silent option was printing output for some
2059 error conditions. Fixed. Will rename relevant variables to help
2060 avoid these errors in the future.
2062 [SS] NetBSD port added.
2064 [BA] more sensible error messages for devfs and devfs-like systems.
2065 Instead of saying that the DIRECTORY does not exist, say that
2066 the DEVICE does not exist.
2068 [BA] smartd: added -n Directive, to prevent disk spin-up depending
2069 upon the power mode (SLEEP, STANDBY, or IDLE).
2071 [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax 20 VL series, Fujitsu MPF series,
2072 Maxtor DiamondMax 36 series, Maxtor DiamondMax 4320 series, and
2073 Maxtor DiamondMax 536DX series to knowndrives table.
2075 [BA] many warning messages now give the file name AND VERSION
2077 [BA] smartd: when the user provides multiple address recipients
2078 to the '-m' Directive in a comma-delineated list, the commas
2079 are stripped out before passing the list of addresses to the
2080 mailer program. (Thanks to Calin A. Culianu for pointing this out
2081 and providing a patch.)
2083 [BA] smartd: when the '-M exec path' Directive is used, any stdout OR
2084 stderr output from the executable "path" is assumed to indicate a
2085 problem, and is echoed to SYSLOG.
2087 [BA] Added all missing IBM/Hitachi Deskstar 180GXP models to knowndrives
2090 [PW] Added some missing IBM/Hitachi Deskstar 120GXP models to knowndrives
2093 [PW] Added IBM Travelstar 14GS to knowndrives table.
2095 [PW] Modified knowndrives table to match entire Hitachi Travelstar
2096 DK23BA and DK23EA series of drives (thanks to Norikatsu Shigemura
2097 for submitting the patch).
2099 [PW] Added some missing Fujitsu MPE series drives to knowndrives table.
2101 [PW] Added TOSHIBA MK4019GAX, TOSHIBA MK6409MAV, and QUANTUM
2102 FIREBALLlct15 20 to knowndrives table.
2104 [EM] Fixup example command output for FreeBSD
2106 [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax 80 family to knowndrives table.
2108 [EM] Catch up FreeBSD code to switch PROJECTHOME to PACKAGE_HOMEPAGE
2111 [BA] smartd: now watches stdout/stderr when trying to run mail, mailx
2112 or mail warning script, and reports any output to SYSLOG. This
2113 gives a clearer error message if something is wrong.
2115 [BA] smartd: Solaris init script modified to accomodate grep that
2116 lacks '-q' quiet option. Also check for running process to kill
2119 [PW] Added some missing Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 and 7200.7 Plus drives
2120 to knowndrives table.
2122 [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 60 family and Seagate U Series 5 20413
2123 to knowndrives table.
2125 [BA] smartd: under Solaris, made default mailer be 'mailx' not
2126 'mail', since Solaris 'mail' does not accept a '-s' argument.
2127 A workaround for Solaris users of earlier versions is to
2128 have '-M exec /bin/mailx' in their smartd.conf config file.
2130 [DG] some SCSI controllers don't like odd length transfers so make
2131 sure LOG SENSE transfers are rounded up to an even number when
2132 and odd length is reported (i.e. there is a double fetch, the
2133 first to find the length, the second gets the data)
2135 [BA] smartd man pages: under Solaris, correct section numbers in the
2138 [KS/BA] smartd man page: describe how to set Solaris syslog.conf
2139 file to catch all messages. Give correct Solaris SYSLOG default
2140 path /var/adm/messages in man pages.
2142 [BA] smartd: incorporated Debian startup script submitted by user.
2144 [BA] smartctl: modified printing of self-test log entry number. Seagate
2145 firmware can leave 'holes' in the self-test log while a test is
2146 actually running. We now print entry numbers consistently in this
2147 case, not assuming that entries are contiguous.
2149 [PW] Added QUANTUM FIREBALL CX10.2A and Western Digital Caviar AC23200L
2150 to knowndrives table.
2152 [PW] Added QUANTUM FIREBALLlct20 20 to knowndrives table.
2154 [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax Plus D740X family to knowndrives table.
2156 [PW] Added IBM Travelstar 32GH, 30GT, and 20GN family to knowndrives
2159 [BA] Slackware init script modified to search for /etc/slackware-version
2160 rather than /etc/slackware-release.
2162 [PW] Added Seagate Barracuda ATA II family and TOSHIBA MK4019GAXB to
2165 [GG] explain howto use autoreconf in autogen.sh
2167 [KS] Makefile.am/configure.in: changed manual page sections for
2170 [BA] smartd: reduced number of scheduled self-test messages if
2171 test already run in current hour.
2173 [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 8 family to knowndrives table.
2175 [BA] linux: check for linux/hdreg.h. If it's there, use it. If
2176 not, provide the necessary definitions ourselves.
2178 [PW] Removed warning for IBM Deskstar 40GV & 75GXP series drives
2179 with TXAOA5AA firmware
2181 [PW] Added IBM Travelstar 25GS, 18GT, and 12GN family to knowndrives
2184 [PW] Added IBM/Hitachi Travelstar 60GH & 40GN family to knowndrives
2187 [BA] smartd: made '-s' Directive more efficient. Now store
2188 compiled regex, and re-use. If device lacks certain self-test
2189 capabilities, track it and don't try again.
2191 [BA] smartd: made memory allocation for device lists completely
2192 dynamic (eliminating compile-time maximum length constants).
2194 [PW] Removed warning for SAMSUNG SP0802N with TK100-23 firmware
2196 [PW] Added Seagate Barracuda ATA IV family to knowndrives table.
2198 [BA] smartd: reduce per-device memory footprint by making
2199 mail-warning info dynamically allocated. Also remove
2200 potential memory leak if use has -m Directive twice and
2201 keeps reloading the config file (highly unlikely this would
2204 [DG] smartd: added SCSI scheduled self-tests (Background
2207 [BA] smartd: can now run scheduled offline immediate and
2208 self-tests. See man page and -s Directive for details.
2210 [GG] don't include manpages in make-dist-tarball.
2212 [BA] smartctl: on-line examples given with -h are now correct
2213 for solaris and linux, but wrong for freebsd. Ed?
2215 [BA] smartd: man page now explains device scanning for solaris as
2216 well as linux and freebsd.
2218 [BA] smartd/smartctl: man pages now report correct CVS tag release
2219 date, and executables '-V' options reports more build info.
2223 [BA] Improved user messages that appear from 'make install'
2225 [PW] Removed warning for SAMSUNG SP1213N with firmware TL100-23
2227 [BA] incorporated SuSE init script from user.
2229 [DG] if SCSI device is read only, then open it read only.
2231 [BA] when compiled on non-supported system (NOT linux, freebsd or solaris) then
2232 the run-time error messages now clearly say 'your system is not supported'
2233 and give clear directions.
2235 [BA] ./configure script now works correctly on SuSE linux boxes
2237 [BA] minor improvements to man pages
2239 [BA] simplified detection of packet (ATAPI, CD) devices.
2241 [BA] init script (redhat, mandrake, yellowdog) now uses correct
2242 strings for translation and is slightly more standard.
2244 [DG] smartctl: output scsi Seagate vendor pages for disks (not tapes)
2248 Note: there was no '5.24' release. From this point on, even numbered
2249 releases will be 'stable' ones and odd numbered releases will be
2250 unstable/testing/development ones.
2252 [DG] smartd/smartctl: changed scsiClearControlGLTSD() to
2253 scsiSetControlGLTSD() with an 'enabled' argument so '-S on'
2254 and '-S off' work for SCSI devices (if changing GLTSD supported).
2256 [BA] smartd/smartctl: wired in scsiClearControlGLTSD(). Could still
2257 use a corresponding Set function. Left stubs for this purpose.
2259 [DG] scsicmds: added scsiClearControlGLTSD() [still to be wired in]
2261 [BA] smartctl: make SCSI -T options behave the same way as the
2264 [DG] smartctl: output scsi transport protocol if available
2266 [DG] scsi: stop device scan in smartd and smartctl if badly formed
2267 mode response [heuristic to filter out USB devices before we
2268 (potentially) lock them up].
2270 [BA] smartd: deviceclose()->CloseDevice(). Got rid of SCSIDEVELOPMENT
2271 macro-enabled code. Added -W to list of gcc specific options to
2272 always enable. Made code clean for -W warnings.
2274 [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax VL 30 family to knowndrives table.
2276 [DG] scsi: add warning (when '-l error' active) if Control mode page
2277 GLTSD bit is set (global disable of saving log counters)
2279 [DG] scsi: remember mode sense cmd length. Output trip temperature
2280 from IE lpage (IBM extension) when unavailable from temp lpage.
2282 [BA] smartd: for both SCSI and ATA now warns user if either
2283 the number of self-test errors OR timestamp of most
2284 recent self-test error have increased.
2286 [DG] smartctl: output Seagate scsi Cache and Factory log pages (if
2287 available) when vendor attributes chosen
2289 [DG] smartd: add scsiCountFailedSelfTests() function.
2291 [DG] Do more sanity checking of scsi log page responses.
2293 [BA] smartd: now warns user if number of self-test errors has
2294 increased for SCSI devices.
2296 [BA] smartd: warn user if number of ATA self-test errors increases
2297 (as before) OR if hour time stamp of most recent self-test
2300 [DG] More checks for well formed mode page responses. This has the side
2301 effect of stopping scans on bad SCSI implementations (e.g. some
2302 USB disks) prior to sending commands (typically log sense) that
2305 [PW] Added Western Digital Caviar family and Caviar SE family to
2308 [BA] smartd: added -l daemon (which is the default value if -l
2311 [PW] Added Seagate Barracuda ATA V family to knowndrives table.
2313 [BA] smartd: added additional command line argument -l FACILITY
2314 or --logfacility FACILITY. This can be used to redirect
2315 messages from smartd to a different file than the one used
2316 by other system daemons.
2318 [PW] Added Seagate Barracuda 7200.7, Western Digital Protege WD400EB,
2319 and Western Digital Caviar AC38400 to knowndrives table.
2321 [BA] smartd: scanning should now also work correctly for
2322 devfs WITHOUT traditional links /dev/hd[a-t] or /dev/sd[a-z].
2324 [PW] Added Maxtor 4W040H3, Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Plus,
2325 IBM Deskstar 120GXP (40GB), Seagate U Series 20410,
2326 Fujitsu MHM2100AT, MHL2300AT, MHM2150AT, and IBM-DARA-212000
2327 to knowndrives table.
2329 [PW] Added remaining Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 models to knowndrives
2332 [EM] smartd: If no matches found, then return 0, rather than an error
2333 indication, as it just means no devices of the given type exist.
2334 Adjust FreeBSD scan code to mirror Linux version.
2336 [BA] smartd: made device scan code simpler and more robust. If
2337 too many devices detected, warn user but scan as many
2338 as possible. If error in scanning, warn user but don't
2341 [EM] smartd: To keep as consistent as possible, migrate FreeBSD
2342 devicescan code to also use glob(3). Also verified clean
2343 compile on a 4.7 FreeBSD system.
2345 [BA] smartd: Modified device scan code to use glob(3). Previously
2346 it appeared to have trouble when scanning devices on an XFS
2347 file system, and used non-public interface to directory
2348 entries. Problems were also reported when /dev/ was on an
2349 ext2/3 file system, but there was a JFS partition on the same
2352 [BA] Clearer error messages when device scanning finds no suitable
2355 [EM] FreeBSD: Fixup code to allow for proper compilation under
2360 [BA] smartd: didn't close file descriptors of ATA packet devices
2361 that are scanned. Fixed.
2363 [BA] Added reload/report targets to the smartmontools init script.
2364 reload: reloads config file
2365 report: send SIGUSR1 to check devices now
2369 [EM] Fix compile issues for FreeBSD < 5-CURRENT.
2371 [PW] Added Fujitsu MHM2200AT to knowndrives table.
2373 [BA] To help catch bugs, clear ATA error structures before all
2374 ioctl calls. Disable code that attempted to time-out on SCSI
2375 devices when they hung (doesn't work).
2377 [BA] Documented STATUS/ERROR flags added by [PW] below.
2379 [BA] Improved algorithm to recognize ATA packet devices. Should
2380 no longer generate SYSLOG kernel noise when user tries either
2381 smartd or smartctl on packet device (CD-ROM or DVD). Clearer
2382 warning messages from smartd when scanning ATA packet device.
2384 [PW] Added TOSHIBA MK4025GAS to knowndrives table.
2386 [PW] Added a textual interpretation of the status and error registers
2387 in the SMART error log (ATA). The interpretation is
2388 command-dependent and currently only eight commands are supported
2389 (those which produced errors in the error logs that I happen to
2392 [BA] added memory allocation tracking to solaris code.
2393 Fixed solaris signal handling (reset handler to default
2394 after first call to handler) by using sigset. Added
2395 HAVE_SIGSET to configure.in
2397 [CD] solaris port: added SCSI functionality to solaris
2400 [BA] smartd: attempt to address bug report about smartd
2401 hanging on USB devices when scanning:
2402 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=107615
2403 Set a timeout of SCSITIMEOUT (nominally 7 seconds) before
2406 [EM] smartd: DEVICESCAN will follow links in a devfs filesystem and
2407 make sure the end point is a disc. Update documentation, added
2408 note about FreeBSD scanning
2410 [BA] smartd: DEVICESCAN also looks for block devices in
2411 /dev. Updated documentation. Now scans for up to
2412 20 ATA devices /dev/hda-t rather than previous 12
2415 [EM] smartd: mirror the FreeBSD DEVICESCAN logic for Linux,
2416 so that smartd now scans only devices found in /dev/. Also,
2417 make utility memory functions take a line number and file so
2418 that we report errors with the correct location.
2420 [GG] add a note about Debian bug #208964 to WARNINGS.
2422 [BA] smartctl: -T verypermissive option broken. Use
2423 -T verpermissive until the next release, please.
2425 [BA] Syntax mods so that code also compiles on Solaris using
2426 Sun Workshop compiler. Need -xmemalign 1i -xCC flags
2431 [DK] Changed configure.in so -Wall is only included if gcc
2432 is used (this is a gcc specific flag) and -fsignedchar
2433 is not used at all (this is a gcc specific compiler
2436 [BA] Modifications so that code now compiles under solaris. Now
2437 all that's needed (:-) is to fill in os_solaris.[hc]. Added
2438 os_generic.[hc] as guide to future ports. Fixed -D option
2439 of smartd (no file name). Modified -h opt of smartd/smartctl
2440 to work properly with solaris getopt().
2442 [EM] Update MAN pages with notes that 3ware drives are NOT supported
2443 under FreeBSD. Cleanup FreeBSD warning message handling.
2445 [EM] FreeBSD only: Fix first user found bug....I guess I was making
2446 the wrong assumption on how to convert ATA devnames to
2447 channel/unit numbers.
2449 [EM] Allow for option --enable-sample to append '.sample' to installed
2450 smartd.conf and rc script files. Also, let rc script shell setting
2451 be determined by configure
2453 [EM] Minor autoconf update to include -lcam for FreeBSD
2455 [EM] Add conditional logic to allow FreeBSD to compile pre-ATAng.
2457 Add some documentation to INSTALL for FreeBSD.
2459 [EM] Implement SCSI CAM support for FreeBSD. NOTE: I am not an expert
2460 in the use of CAM. It seems to work for me, but I may be doing
2461 something horribly wrong, so please exercise caution.
2463 [EM] Switch over to using 'atexit' rather than 'on_exit' routine. This also
2464 meant we needed to save the exit status elsewhere so our 'Goodbye'
2465 routine could examine it.
2467 [EM] Move the DEVICESCAN code to os specific files. Also moved some of the
2468 smartd Memory functions to utility.c to make available to smartctl.
2470 [EM] Code janitor work on os_freebsd.c.
2472 [EM] Added os_freebsd.[hc] code. Additional code janitor
2475 [BA] Code janitor working, moving OS dependent code into
2478 [GG] conditionally compile os_{freebsd,linux}.o depending on
2481 [PW] Print estimated completion time for tests
2483 [BA] Added -F samsung2 flag to correct firmware byte swap.
2484 All samsung drives with *-23 firmware revision string.
2488 [GG] Fixed broken Makefile.am (zero length smartd.conf.5
2489 was being created), fix broken uninstall/distcheck targets
2491 [FM] Improved Slackware init script added to /etc/smartd.initd
2493 smartmontools 5.19 [NOTE CHANGE OF RELEASE NUMBERING]
2495 [BA] smartctl: added '-T verypermissive' option which is
2496 equivalent to giving '-T permissive' many times.
2498 [BA] Try harder to identify from IDENTIFY DEVICE structure
2499 if SMART supported/enabled. smartd now does a more
2500 thorough job of trying to assess this before sending
2501 a SMART status command to find out for sure.
2503 [BA] smartctl: it's now possible to override the program's
2504 guess of the device type (ATA or SCSI) with -d option.
2506 [BA] try hard to avoid sending IDENTIFY DEVICE to packet
2507 devices (CDROMS). They can't do SMART, and this generates
2508 annoying syslog messages. At the same time, identify type
2511 [BA] smartctl: Can now use permissive option more
2512 than once, to control how far to go before giving up.
2514 [BA] smartd: if user asked to monitor either error or self-test
2515 logs (-l error or -l selftest) WITHOUT monitoring any of the
2516 Attribute values, code will SEGV. For 5.1-18 and earlier,
2517 a good workaround is to enable Auto offline (-o on).
2519 [BA] smartctl: If enable auto offline command given, update auto
2520 offline status before printing capabilities.
2522 [GG] Make autotools build the default, remove autotools.diff
2524 [GG] Add auto{conf,make} support, not enabled by default.
2526 [BA] Eliminated #include <linux/hdreg.h> from code. This
2527 should simplify porting to solaris, FreeBSD, etc. The
2528 only linux-specific code is now isolated to three routines,
2529 one for SCSI, one for Escalade, one for ATA.
2531 smartmontools 5.1-18
2533 [BA] smartd: fixed serious bug - Attributes not monitored unless
2534 user told smartd to ignore at least one of them!
2536 smartmontools 5.1-17
2538 [BA] Default runlevels for smartd changed from 3 and 5 to
2541 [BA] Removed as much dynamic memory allocation as possible from
2542 configuration file parsing. Reloading config file, even in
2543 presence of syntax errors etc. should not cause memory leaks.
2545 [PW] It is no longer permissible for the integer part (if any) of
2546 arguments to --report and --device to be followed by non-digits.
2547 For example, the "foo" in --report=ioctl,2foo was previously
2548 ignored, but now causes an error.
2550 [BA] smartd: added -q/--quit command line option to specify
2551 under what circumstances smartd should exit. The old
2552 -c/--checkonce option is now obsoleted by this more
2553 general-purpose option.
2555 [BA] smartd now responds to a HUP signal by re-reading its
2556 configuration file /etc/smartd.conf. If there are
2557 errors in this file, then the configuration file is
2558 ignored and smartd continues to monitor the devices that
2559 it was monitoring prior to receiving the HUP signal.
2561 [BA] Now correctly get SMART status from disks behind 3ware
2562 controllers, thanks to Adam Radford. Need 3w-xxxx driver
2563 version 1.02.00.037 or later. Previously the smartmontools
2564 SMART status always returned "OK" for 3ware controllers.
2566 [BA] Additional work on dynamic memory allocation/deallocation.
2567 This should have no effect on smartctl, but clears that way
2568 for smartd to dynamically add and remove entries. It should
2569 also now be easier to modify smartd to re-read its config
2570 file on HUP (which is easy) without leaking memory (which is
2571 harder). The philosophy is that memory for data structures in
2572 smartd is now allocated only on demand, the first time it
2575 [BA] smartd: finished cleanup. Now use create/rm functions for
2576 cfgentries and dynamic memory allocation almost everywhere.
2577 Philosophy: aggresively try and provoke SEGV to help find
2580 [BA] Added SAMSUNG SV0412H to knowndrives table.
2582 [BA] smartd: if DEVICESCAN used then knowndrives table might not set
2583 the -v attributes correctly -- may have been the same for all
2584 the drives. Cleaned up some data structures and memory
2585 allocation to try and ensure segvs if such problems are
2588 [BA] Now allow -S on and -o on for the 3ware device type. For these
2589 commands to be passed through, the stock 3ware 3w-xxxx driver
2590 must be patched (8 lines). I'll post a patch on the smartmontools
2591 home page after it's been tested by a few other people and 3ware
2592 have had a chance to look it over.
2594 smartmontools-5.1-16
2596 [BA] smartd - can now monitor ATA drives behind 3ware controllers.
2598 [BA] smartd - changed some FATAL out of memory error messages from
2599 syslog level LOG_INFO to LOG_CRIT.
2601 [BA] smartctl - added code to look at ATA drives behind 3ware RAID
2602 controllers using the 3w-xxxx driver. Note that for technical
2603 reasons related to the 3w-xxxx driver, the "Enable Autosave",
2604 "Enable Automatic Offline" commands are not implemented.
2605 I will add this to smartd shortly.
2607 [BA] smartd - modified sleep loop, so that smartd no longer comes
2608 on the run queue every second. Instead, unless interrupted,
2609 it sleeps until the next polling time, when it wakes up. Now
2610 smartd also tries to wake up at exactly the right
2611 intervals (nominally 30 min) even if the user has been sending
2614 [GG] add Fujitsu MHN2300AT to vendoropts_9_seconds.
2616 [EB] Fujitsu change in knowndrives ... match the whole MPD and
2617 MPE series for vendoropts_9_seconds.
2619 [BA] smartd bug, might cause segv if a device can not be opened. Was
2620 due to missing comma in char* list. Consequence is that email
2621 failure messages might have had the wrong Subject: heading for
2622 errorcount, FAILEDhealthcheck, FAILEDreadsmartdata, FAILEDreadsmarterrorlog,
2623 FAILEDreadsmartsefltestlog, FAILEDopendevice were all displaced by
2624 one. And FAILEDopendevice might have caused a segv if -m was being
2625 used as a smartd Directive.
2627 smartmontools-5.1-15
2629 [BA] Cleaned up smartmontools.spec so that upgrading, removing
2630 and other such operations correctly preserve running behavior
2631 and booting behavior of smartd.
2633 [BA] Improved formatting of ATA Error Log printout, and added
2634 listing of names of commands that caused the error. Added
2635 obsolete ATA-4 SMART feature commands to table, along with
2636 obsolete SFF-8035i SMART feature command.
2638 [PW] Added atacmdnames.[hc], which turn command register &
2639 feature register pairs into ATA command names.
2641 [BA] Added conveyance self-test. Some code added for selective
2642 self-tests, but #ifdefed out.
2644 [BA] Modified smartd exit status and log levels. If smartd is
2645 "cleanly" terminated, for example with SIGTERM, then its
2646 exit messages are now logged at LOG_INFO not LOG_CRIT
2648 [BA] Added Attribute IDs (Fujitsu) 0xCA - 0xCE. This is decimal
2649 202-206. Added -v switches for interpretation of Attributes
2652 [BA] Made smartmontools work with any endian order machine for:
2653 - SMART selftest log
2654 - SMART ATA error log
2655 - SMART Attributes values
2656 - SMART Attributes thesholds
2657 - IDENTIFY DEVICE information
2659 Smartmontools is now free of endian bias and works correctly
2660 on both little- and big-endian hardware. This has been tested by
2661 three independent PPC users on a variety of ATA and SCSI hardware.
2663 [DG] Check that certain SCSI command responses are well formed. If
2664 IEC mode page response is not well formed exit smartctl. This
2665 is to protect aacraid. smartd should ignore a aacraid device.
2667 smartmontools-5.1-14
2669 [BA] smartctl: added column to -A output to show if Attributes are
2670 updated only during off-line testing or also during normal
2673 smartmontools-5.1-13
2675 [BA] smartd: attempt to enable/disable automatic offline testing even
2676 if the disk appears not to support it. Now the same logic
2679 [BA] Added definition of Attribute 201, soft read error rate.
2681 [BA] Added IBM/Hitachi IC35L120AVV207-1 (GXP-180) and corresponding
2682 8MB Cache GXP-120 to drive database.
2684 [BA] smartd: if DEVICESCAN Directive used in smartd.conf, and
2685 -I, -R or -r Directives used in conjunction with this, got
2686 segv errors. Fixed by correcting memory allocation calls.
2688 [BA] smartd: enable automatic offline testing was broken due
2689 to cut-and-paste error that disabled it instead of
2690 enabling it. Thanks to Maciej W. Rozycki for pointing
2691 out the problem and solution.
2693 [BA] Fixed "spelling" of some Attribute names to replace spaces
2694 in names by underscores. (Fixed field width easier for awk
2697 [BA,GF] Added mods submitted by [GF] to support Attribute 193 being
2698 load/unload cycles. Add -v 193,loadunload option, useful for
2699 Hitachi drive DK23EA-30, and add this drive to knowndrive.c
2700 Add meaning of attribute 250 : Read error retry rate
2702 smartmontools-5.1-12
2704 [BA] Added another entry for Samsung drives to knowndrive table.
2706 [DG] Refine SCSI log sense command to do a double fetch in most cases
2707 (but not for the TapeAlert log page). Fix TapeAlert and Self Test
2708 log page response truncation.
2710 [PW] Added 'removable' argument to -d Directive for smartd. This indicates
2711 that smartd should continue (rather than exit) if the device does not
2712 appear to be present.
2714 [BA] Modified smartmontools.spec [Man pages location] and
2715 smartd.initd [Extra space kills chkconfig!] for Redhat 6.x
2716 compatibility (thanks to Gerald Schnabel).
2718 smartmontools-5.1-11
2720 [EB] Add another Fujitsu disk to knowndrives.c
2722 [GG] match for scsi/ and ide/ in case of devfs to exclude false postives
2724 [BA] If SCSI device listed in /etc/smartd.conf fails to open or do
2725 SMART stuff correctly, or not enough space
2726 to list all SCSI devices, fail with error unless
2727 -DSCSIDEVELOPMENT set during compile-time.
2729 [BA] Added automatic recognition of /dev/i* (example: /dev/ide/...)
2732 [DG] Add "Device type: [disk | tape | medium changer | ...] line to
2733 smartctl -i output for SCSI devices.
2735 [PW] Fixed bug in smartd where test email would be sent regularly (for
2736 example, daily if the user had specified -M daily) instead of just
2739 [KM] More TapeAlert work. Added translations for media changer
2740 alerts. TapeAlert support reported according to the log page
2741 presence. ModeSense not attempted for non-ready tapes (all
2742 drives do not support this after all). Get peripheral type from
2743 Inquiry even if drive info is not printed. Add QUIETON()
2744 QUIETOFF() to TapeAlert log check.
2746 [BA] Stupid bug in atacmds.c minor_str[] affected ataVersionInfo().
2747 Two missing commas meant that minor_str[] had two few elements,
2748 leading to output like this:
2749 Device Model: Maxtor 6Y120L0
2750 Serial Number: Y40BF74E
2751 Firmware Version: YAR41VW0
2752 Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall]
2754 ATA Standard is: 9,minutes
2756 Missing commas inserted.
2758 [BA] Fixed smartd bug. On device registration, if ATA device did
2759 not support SMART error or self-test logs but user had asked to
2760 monitor them, an attempt would be made to read them anyway,
2761 possibly generating "Drive Seek" errors. We now check that
2762 the self-test and error logs are supported before trying to
2763 access them the first time.
2765 [GG/BA] Fixed bug where if SMART ATA error log not supported,
2766 command was tried anyway. Changed some error printing to use
2769 [GG] Makefile modifications to ease packaging
2771 [DG] Did work for TapeAlerts (SCSI). Now can detect /dev/nst0 as a
2772 SCSI device. Also open SCSI devices O_NONBLOCK so they don't
2773 hang on open awaiting media. The ATA side should worry about
2774 this also: during a DEVICESCAN a cd/dvd device without media
2775 will hang. Added some TapeAlert code suggested by Kai Makisara.
2777 smartmontools-5.1-10
2779 [PW] Extended the -F option/Directive to potentially fix other firmware
2780 bugs in addition to the Samsung byte-order bug. Long option name is
2781 now --firmwarebug and the option/Directive accepts an argument
2782 indicating the type of firmware bug to fix.
2784 [BA] Fixed a bug that prevented the enable automatic off-line
2785 test feature from enabling. It also prevented the enable Attribute
2786 autosave from working. See CVS entry for additional details.
2788 [PW] Modified the -r/--report option (smartctl and smartd) to allow the
2789 user to specify the debug level as a positive integer.
2791 [BA] Added --log directory option to smartctl. If the disk
2792 supports the general-purpose logging feature set (ATA-6/7)
2793 then this option enables the Log Directory to be printed.
2794 This Log Directory shows which device logs are available, and
2795 their lengths in sectors.
2797 [PW] Added -P/--presets option to smartctl and -P Directive to smartd.
2799 [GG] Introduce different exit codes indicating the type of problem
2800 encountered for smartd.
2802 [DG] Add non-medium error count to '-l error' and extended self test
2803 duration to '-l selftest'. Get scsi IEs and temperature changes
2804 working in smartd. Step over various scsi disk problems rather
2805 than abort smartd startup.
2807 [DG] Support -l error for SCSI disks (and tapes). Output error counter
2810 [BA] Added -F/--fixbyteorder option to smartctl. This allows us to read
2811 SMART data from some disks that have byte-reversed two- and four-
2812 byte quantities in their SMART data structures.
2814 [BA] Fixed serious bug: the -v options in smartd.conf were all put
2815 together and used together, not drive-by-drive.
2817 [PW] Added knowndrives.h and knowndrives.c. The knowndrives array
2818 supersedes the drivewarnings array.
2820 [GG] add {-p,--pidfile} option to smartd to write a PID file on
2821 startup. Update the manpage accordingly.
2823 [DG] Fix scsi smartd problem detecting SMART support. More cleaning
2824 and fix (and rename) scsiTestUnitReady(). More scsi renaming.
2826 [BA] Fixed smartd so that if a disk that is explictily listed is not
2827 found, then smartd will exit with nonzero status BEFORE forking.
2828 If a disk can't be registered, this will also be detected before
2829 forking, so that init scripts can react correctly.
2831 [BA] Replaced all linux-specific ioctl() calls in atacmds.c with
2832 a generic handler smartcommandhandler(). Now the only routine
2833 that needs to be implemented for a given OS is os_specific_handler().
2834 Also implemented the --report ataioctl. This provides
2835 two levels of reporting. Using the option once gives a summary
2836 report of device IOCTL transactions. Using the option twice give
2837 additional info (a printout of ALL device raw 512 byte SMART
2838 data structures). This is useful for debugging.
2840 [DG] more scsi cleanup. Output scsi device serial number (VPD page
2841 0x80) if available as part of '-i'. Implement '-t offline' as
2842 default self test (only self test older disks support).
2844 [BA] Changed crit to info in loglevel of smartd complaint to syslog
2845 if DEVICESCAN enabled and device not found.
2847 [BA] Added -v 194,10xCelsius option/Directive. Raw Attribute number
2848 194 is ten times the disk temperature in Celsius.
2850 [DG] scsicmds.[hc] + scsiprint.c: clean up indentation, remove tabs.
2851 Introduce new intermediate interface based on "struct scsi_cmnd_io"
2852 to isolate SCSI generic commands + responses from Linux details;
2853 should help port to FreeBSD of SCSI part of smartmontools.
2854 Make SCSI command builders more parametric.
2858 [BA] smartctl: if HDIO_DRIVE_TASK ioctl() is not implemented (no
2859 kernel support, then try to assess drive health by examining
2860 Attribute values/thresholds directly.
2862 [BA] smartd/smartctl: added -v 200,writeerrorcount option/Directive
2865 [BA] smartd: Now send email if any of the SMART commands fails,
2866 or if open()ing the device fails. This is often noted
2867 as a common disk failure mode.
2869 [BA] smartd/smartctl: Added -v N,raw8 -v N,raw16 and -v N,raw48
2870 Directives/Options for printing Raw Attributes in different
2873 [BA] smartd: Added -r ID and -R ID for reporting/tracking Raw
2874 values of Attributes.
2876 [BA] smartd/smartctl: Changed printing of spin-up-time attribute
2877 raw value to reflect current/average as per IBM standard.
2879 [BA] smartd/smartctl: Added -v 9,seconds option for disks which
2880 use Attribute 9 for power-on lifetime in seconds.
2882 [BA] smartctl: Added a warning message so that users of some IBM
2883 disks are warned to update their firmware. Note: we may want
2884 to add a command-line flag to disable the warning messages.
2885 I have done this in a general way, using regexp, so that we
2886 can add warnings about any type of disk that we wish...
2890 [BA] smartd: Created a subdirectory examplescripts/ of source
2891 directory that contains executable scripts for the -M exec PATH
2892 Directive of smartd.
2896 [BA] smartd: DEVICESCAN in /etc/smartd.conf
2897 can now be followed by all the same Directives as a regular
2898 device name like /dev/hda takes. This allows one to use
2900 DEVICESCAN -m root@example.com
2901 in the /etc/smartd.conf file.
2903 [BA] smartd: Added -c (--checkonce) command-line option. This checks
2904 all devices once, then exits. The exit status can be
2905 used to learn if devices were detected, and if smartd is
2906 functioning correctly. This is primarily for Distribution
2909 [BA] smartd: Implemented -M exec Directive for
2910 smartd.conf. This makes it possible to run an
2911 arbitrary script or mailing program with the
2914 [PW] smartd: Modified -M Directive so that it can be given
2915 multiple times. Added -M exec Directive.
2919 [BA] Fixed bug in smartctl pointed out by Pierre Gentile.
2920 -d scsi didn't work because tryata and tryscsi were
2921 reversed -- now works on /devfs SCSI devices.
2923 [BA] Fixed bug in smartctl pointed out by Gregory Goddard
2924 <ggoddard@ufl.edu>. Manual says that bit 6 of return
2925 value turned on if errors found in smart error log. But
2926 this wasn't implemented.
2930 [BA] Modified printing format for 9,minutes to read
2931 Xh+Ym not X h + Y m, so that fields are fixed width.
2933 [BA] Added Attribute 240 "head flying hours"
2937 [BA] As requested, local time/date now printed by smartctl -i
2939 [PW] Added "help" argument to -v for smartctl
2941 [PW] Added -D, --showdirectives option to smartd
2943 [DG] add '-l selftest' capability for SCSI devices (update smartctl.8)
2945 [BA] smartd,smartctl: added additional Attribute modification option
2946 -v 220,temp and -v 9,temp.
2948 [PW] Renamed smartd option -X to -d
2950 START OF SMARTMONTOOLS 5.1 series

2954 [PW] Changed smartd.conf Directives -- see man page
2956 [BA/DG] Fixed uncommented comment in smartd.conf
2958 [DG] Correct 'Recommended start stop count' for SCSI devices
2960 [PW] Replaced smartd.conf directive -C with smartd option -i
2962 [PW] Changed options for smartctl -- see man page.
2964 [BA] Use strerror() to generate system call error messages.
2966 [BA] smartd: fflush() all open streams before fork().
2968 [BA] smartctl, smartd simplified internal handling of checksums
2969 for simpler porting and less code.
2971 smartmontools-5.0.49
2973 [PW] smartd --debugmode changed to --debug
2975 [BA] smartd/smartctl added attribute 230 Head Amplitude from
2978 [PW] Added list of proposed new options for smartctl to README.
2980 [PW] smartd: ParseOpts() now uses getopt_long() if HAVE_GETOPT_LONG is
2981 defined and uses getopt() otherwise. This is controlled by CPPFLAGS in
2984 [BA] smartd: Fixed a couple of error messages done with perror()
2985 to redirect them as needed.
2987 smartmontools-5.0.48
2989 [BA] smartctl: The -O option to enable an Immediate off-line test
2990 did not print out the correct time that the test would take to
2991 complete. This is because the test timer is volatile and not
2992 fixed. This has been fixed, and the smartctl.8 man page has been
2993 updated to explain how to track the Immediate offline test as it
2994 progresses, and to further emphasize the differences between the
2995 off-line immediate test and the self-tests.
2997 [BA] smartd/smartctl: Added new attribute (200) Multi_Zone_Error_Rate
2999 [BA] smartctl: modified so that arguments could have either a single -
3000 as in -ea or multiple ones as in -e -a. Improved warning message for
3001 device not opened, and fixed error in redirection of error output of
3002 HD identity command.
3004 [PW] smartd: added support for long options. All short options are still
3005 supported; see manpage for available long options.
3007 [BA] smartctl. When raw Attribute value was 2^31 or larger, did
3008 not print correctly.
3010 smartmontools-5.0.46
3012 [BA] smartd: added smartd.conf Directives -T and -s. The -T Directive
3013 enables/disables Automatic Offline Testing. The -s Directive
3014 enables/disables Attribute Autosave. Documentation and
3015 example configuration file updated to agree.
3017 [BA] smartd: user can make smartd check the disks at any time
3018 (ie, interrupt sleep) by sending signal SIGUSR1 to smartd. This
3019 can be done for example with:
3021 where <pid> is the process ID number of smartd.
3023 [EB] scsi: don't trust the data we receive from the drive too
3024 much. It very well might have errors (like zero response length).
3025 Seen on Megaraid logical drive, and verified in the driver source.
3027 [BA] smartd: added Directive -m for sending test email and
3028 for modifying email reminder behavior. Updated manual, and sample
3029 configuration file to illustrate & explain this.
3031 [BA] smartd: increased size of a continued smartd.conf line to
3034 [BA] Simplified Directive parsers and improved warning/error
3037 smartmontools-5.0.45
3039 [EB] Fixed bug in smartd where testunitready logic inverted
3040 prevented functioning on scsi devices.
3041 The bug in question only affects smartd users with scsi devices.
3042 To see if your version of smartd has the testunitready() bug, do
3044 If the version of the module smartd.c in a line like:
3045 Module: smartd.c revision: 1.66 date: 2002/11/17
3046 has a revision greater than or equal to 1.30, and less than or equal to
3047 1.64, then your version of the code has this problem.
3048 This problem affected releases starting with RELEASE_5_0_16 up to and
3049 including RELEASE_5_0_43.
3051 [BA] Added testunitnotready to smartctl for symmetry with smartd.
3053 [SB] added Czech descriptions to .spec file
3054 [SB] corrected comment in smartd.conf example
3056 [BA] Changed way that entries in the ATA error log are printed,
3057 to make it clearer which is the most recent error and
3058 which is the oldest one.
3060 NOTE: All changes made prior to this point were done by Bruce Allen
3061 [BA] although several of them had been suggested by earlier postings
3062 by Stanislav Brabec [SB].
3064 smartmontools-5.0.43
3066 Changed Temperature_Centigrade to Temperature_Celsius.
3067 The term "Centigrade" ceased to exist in 1948. (c.f
3068 http://www.bartleby.com/64/C004/016.html).
3070 smartmontools-5.0.42
3072 Modified SCSI device check to also send warning emails if
3073 requested in directives file.
3075 Added a new smartd configuration file Directive: -M ADDRESS.
3076 This sends a single warning email to ADDRESS for failures or
3077 errors detected with the -c, -L, -l, or -f Directives.
3079 smartmontools-5.0.38
3081 Modified perror() statements in atacmds.c so that printout for SMART
3082 commands errors is properly suppressed or queued depending upon users
3083 choices for error reporting modes.
3085 Added Italian descriptions to smartmontools.spec file.
3087 Started impementing send-mail-on-error for smartd; not yet enabled.
3089 Added -P (Permissive) Directive to smartd.conf file to allow SMART
3090 monitoring of pre-ATA-3 Rev 4 disks that have SMART but do not have
3091 a SMART capability bit.
3093 Removed charset encodings from smartmontools.spec file for non-English
3096 smartmontools-5.0.32
3098 Added manual page smartd.conf.5 for configuration file.
3100 smartctl: Missing ANSI prototype in failuretest(); fixed.
3102 smartctl: Checksum warnings now printed on stdout, or are silent,
3103 depending upon -q and -Q settings.
3105 smartmontools-5.0.31
3107 Changed Makefile so that the -V option does not reflect file state
3110 smartctl: added new options -W, -U, and -P to control if and how the
3111 smartctl exits if an error is detected in either a SMART data
3112 structure checksum, or a SMART command returns an error.
3114 modified manual page to break options into slightly more logical
3117 reformatted 'usage' message order to agree with man page ordering
3119 modified .spec file so that locale information now contains
3120 character set definition. Changed pt_BR to pt since we do not use any
3121 aspect other than language. See man setlocale.
3123 smartmontools-5.0.30
3124 smartctl: added new options -n and -N to force device to be ATA or SCSI
3125 smartctl: no longer dies silently if device path does not start/dev/X
3126 smartctl: now handles arbitrary device paths
3128 smartmontools-5.0.29
3129 Modified .spec file and Makefile to make them more compliant with
3130 the "right" way of doing things.
3132 smartmontools-5.0.26
3133 Fixed typesetting error in man page smartd.8
3135 Removed redundant variable (harmless) from smartd.c
3137 smartmontools-5.0.25
3139 Added a new directive for the configuration file. If the word
3140 DEVICESCAN appears before any non-commented material in the
3141 configuration file, then the confi file will be ignored and the
3142 devices wil be scanned.
3144 smartmontools-5.0.24
3146 Note: it has now been confirmed that the code modifications between
3147 5.0.23 and 5.0.24 have eliminated the GCC 3.2 problems. Note that
3148 there is a GCC bug howerver, see #8404 at
3149 http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?database=gcc&cmd=query
3150 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8404
3152 Added new Directive for Configuration file:
3153 -C <N> This sets the time in between disk checks to be <N>
3154 seconds apart. Note that although you can give
3155 this Directive multiple times on different lines of
3156 the configuration file, only the final value that
3157 is given has an effect, and applies to all the
3158 disks. The default value of <N> is 1800 sec, and
3159 the minimum allowed value is ten seconds.
3161 Problem wasn't the print format. F.L.W. Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>
3162 sent me a gcc 3.2 build and I ran it under a debugger. The
3163 problem seems to be with passing the very large (2x512+4) byte
3164 data structures as arguments. I never liked this anyway; it was
3165 inherited from smartsuite. So I've changed all the heavyweight
3166 functions (ATA ones, anyone) to just passing pointers, not hideous
3167 kB size structures on the stack. Hopefully this will now build OK
3168 under gcc 3.2 with any sensible compilation options.
3170 smartmontools-5.0.23
3172 Because of reported problems with GCC 3.2 compile, I have gone
3173 thorough the code and explicitly changed all print format
3174 parameters to correspond EXACTLY to int unless they have to be
3175 promoted to long longs. To quote from the glibc bible: [From
3176 GLIBC Manual: Since the prototype doesn't specify types for
3177 optional arguments, in a call to a variadic function the default
3178 argument promotions are performed on the optional argument
3179 values. This means the objects of type char or short int (whether
3180 signed or not) are promoted to either int or unsigned int, as
3183 smartmontools-5.0.22
3185 smartd, smartctl now warn if they find an attribute whose ID
3186 number does not match between Data and Threshold structures.
3188 Fixed nasty bug which led to wrong number of arguments for a
3189 varargs statement, with attendent stack corruption. Sheesh!
3190 Have added script to CVS attic to help find such nasties in the
3193 smartmontools-5.0.21
3195 Eliminated some global variables out of header files and other
3196 minor cleanup of smartd.
3198 smartmontools-5.0.20
3200 Did some revision of the man page for smartd and made the usage
3201 messages for Directives 100% consistent.
3203 smartmontools-5.0-19
3205 smartd: prints warning message when it gets SIGHUP, saying that it
3206 is NOT re-reading the config file.
3208 smartctl: updated man page to say self-test commands -O,x,X,s,S,A
3209 appear to be supported in the code. [I can't test these, can anyone
3212 smartmontools-5.0-18
3214 smartctl: smartctl would previously print the LBA of a self-test
3215 if it completed, and the LBA was not 0 or 0xff...f However
3216 according to the specs this is not correct. According to the
3217 specs, if the self-test completed without error then LBA is
3218 undefined. This version fixes that. LBA value only printed if
3219 self-test encountered an error.
3221 smartmontools-5.0-17
3223 smartd has changed significantly. This is the first CVS checkin of
3224 code that extends the options available for smartd. The following
3225 options can be placed into the /etc/smartd.conf file, and control the
3227 Configuration file Directives (following device name):
3228 -A Device is an ATA device
3229 -S Device is a SCSI device
3230 -c Monitor SMART Health Status
3231 -l Monitor SMART Error Log for changes
3232 -L Monitor SMART Self-Test Log for new errors
3233 -f Monitor for failure of any 'Usage' Attributes
3234 -p Report changes in 'Prefailure' Attributes
3235 -u Report changes in 'Usage' Attributes
3236 -t Equivalent to -p and -u Directives
3237 -a Equivalent to -c -l -L -f -t Directives
3238 -i ID Ignore Attribute ID for -f Directive
3239 -I ID Ignore Attribute ID for -p, -u or -t Directive
3240 # Comment: text after a hash sign is ignored
3241 \ Line continuation character
3243 cleaned up functions used for printing CVS IDs. Now use string
3244 library, as it should be.
3246 modified length of device name string in smartd internal structure
3247 to accomodate max length device name strings
3249 removed un-implemented (-e = Email notification) option from
3250 command line arg list. We'll put it back on when implemeneted.
3252 smartd now logs serious (fatal) conditions in its operation at
3253 loglevel LOG_CRIT rather than LOG_INFO before exiting with error.
3255 smartd used to open a file descriptor for each SMART enabled
3256 device, and then keep it open the entire time smartd was running.
3257 This meant that some commands, like IOREADBLKPART did not work,
3258 since the fd to the device was open. smartd now opens the device
3259 when it needs to read values, then closes it. Also, if one time
3260 around it can't open the device, it simply prints a warning
3261 message but does not give up. Have eliminated the .fd field from
3262 data structures -- no longer gets used.
3264 smartd now opens SCSI devices as well using O_RDONLY rather than
3265 O_RDWR. If someone can no longer monitor a SCSI device that used
3266 to be readable, this may well be the reason why.
3268 smartd never checked if the number of ata or scsi devices detected
3269 was greater than the max number it could monitor. Now it does.
3271 smartmontools-5.0-16
3273 smartd on startup now looks in the configuration file /etc/smartd.conf for
3274 a list of devices which to include in its monitoring list. See man page
3275 (man smartd) for syntax.
3277 smartd: close file descriptors of SCSI device if not SMART capable
3278 Closes ALL file descriptors after forking to daemon.
3280 added new temperature attribute (231, temperature)
3282 smartd: now open ATA disks using O_RDONLY
3284 smartmontools-5.0-11
3286 smartd now prints the name of a failed or changed attribute
3287 into logfile, not just ID number
3289 Changed name of -p (print version) option to -V
3291 Minor change in philosophy: if a SMART command fails or the device
3292 appears incapable of a SMART command that the user has asked for,
3293 complain by printing an error message, but go ahead and try
3294 anyway. Since unimplemented SMART commands should just return an
3295 error but not cause disk problems, this should't cause any
3298 Added two new flags: q and Q. q is quiet mode - only print: For
3299 the -l option, errors recorded in the SMART error log; For the -L
3300 option, errors recorded in the device self-test log; For the -c
3301 SMART "disk failing" status or device attributes (pre-failure or
3302 usage) which failed either now or in the past; For the -v option
3303 device attributes (pre-failure or usage) which failed either now
3304 or in the past. Q is Very Quiet mode: Print no ouput. The only
3305 way to learn about what was found is to use the exit status of
3308 smartctl now returns sensible values (bitmask). See smartctl.h
3309 for the values, and the man page for documentation.
3311 The SMART status check now uses the correct ATA call. If failure
3312 is detected we search through attributes to list the failed ones.
3313 If the SMART status check shows GOOD, we then look to see if their
3314 are any usage attributes or prefail attributes have failed at any
3315 time. If so we print them.
3317 Modified function that prints vendor attributes to say if the
3318 attribute has currently failed or has ever failed.
3320 -p option now prints out license info and CVS strings for all
3321 modules in the code, nicely formatted.
3323 Previous versions of this code (and Smartsuite) only generate
3324 SMART failure errors if the value of an attribute is below the
3325 threshold and the prefailure bit is set. However the ATA Spec
3326 (ATA4 <=Rev 4) says that it is a SMART failure if the value of an
3327 attribute is LESS THAN OR EQUAL to the threshold and the
3328 prefailure bit is set. This is now fixed in both smartctl and
3329 smartd. Note that this is a troubled subject -- the original
3330 SFF 8035i specification defining SMART was inconsistent about
3331 this. One section says that Attribute==Threshold is pass,
3332 and another section says it is fail. However the ATA specs are
3333 consistent and say Attribute==Threshold is a fail.
3335 smartd did not print the correct value of any failing SMART attribute. It
3336 printed the index in the attribute table, not the attribute
3339 when starting self-tests in captive mode ioctl returns EIO because
3340 the drive has been busied out. Detect this and don't return an eror
3341 in this case. Check this this is correct (or how to fix it?)
3343 fixed possible error in how to determine ATA standard support
3344 for devices with no ATA minor revision number.
3346 device opened only in read-only not read-write mode. Don't need R/W
3347 access to get smart data. Check this with Andre.
3349 smartctl now handles all possible choices of "multiple options"
3350 gracefully. It goes through the following phases of operation,
3351 in order: INFORMATION, ENABLE/DISABLE, DISPLAY DATA, RUN/ABORT TESTS.
3352 Documentation has bee updated to explain the different phases of
3353 operation. Control flow through ataPrintMain()
3356 If reading device identity information fails, try seeing if the info
3357 can be accessed using a "DEVICE PACKET" command. This way we can
3358 at least get device info.
3360 Modified Makefile to automatically tag CVS archive on issuance of
3363 Modified drive detection so minor device ID code showing ATA-3 rev
3364 0 (no SMART) is known to not be SMART capable.
3366 Now verify the checksum of the device ID data structure, and of the
3367 attributes threshold structure. Before neither of these
3368 structures had their checksums verified.
3370 New behavior vis-a-vis checksums. If they are wrong, we log
3371 warning messages to stdout, stderr, and syslog, but carry on
3372 anyway. All functions now call a checksumwarning routine if the
3373 checksum doesn't vanish as it should.
3375 Changed Read Hard Disk Identity function to get fresh info from
3376 the disk on each call rather than to use the values that were read
3377 upon boot-up into the BIOS. This is the biggest change in this
3378 release. The ioctl(device, HDIO_GET_IDENTITY, buf ) call should
3379 be avoided in such code. Note that if people get garbled strings
3380 for the model, serial no and firmware versions of their drives,
3381 then blame goes here (the BIOS does the byte swapping for you,
3384 Function ataSmartSupport now looks at correct bits in drive
3385 identity structure to verify first that these bits are valid,
3388 Function ataIsSmartEnabled() written which uses the Drive ID state
3389 information to tell if SMART is enabled or not. We'll carry this
3390 along for the moment without using it.
3392 Function ataDoesSmartWork() guaranteed to work if the device
3395 Replace some numbers by #define MACROS
3397 Wrote Function TestTime to return test time associated with each
3398 different type of test.
3400 Thinking of the future, have added a new function called
3401 ataSmartStatus2(). Eventually when I understand how to use the
3402 TASKFILE API and am sure that this works correctly, it will
3403 replace ataSmartStatus(). This queries the drive directly to
3404 see if the SMART status is OK, rather than comparing thresholds to
3405 attribute values ourselves. But I need to get some drives that fail
3406 their SMART status to check it.
3409 smartmontools-5.0-10
3410 Removed extraneous space before printing in some error messages
3411 Fixed additional typos in documentation
3412 Fixed some character buffers that were too short for their contents.
3416 Put project home path into all source files near the top
3417 Corrected typos in the documentation
3418 Modified Makefile so that Mandrake Cooker won't increment version number
3419 (unless they happen to be working on my machine, which I doubt!)
3421 smartmontools-5.0-8:
3423 For IBM disks whose raw temp data includes three temps. print all
3426 print timestamps for error log to msec precision
3428 added -m option for Hitachi disks that store power on life in
3431 added -L option for printing self-test error logs
3433 in -l option, now print power on lifetime, so that one can see
3434 when the error took place
3436 updated SMART structure definitions to ATA-5 spec
3440 added -f and -F options to enable/disable autosave threshold
3443 changed argv parsing to use getops -- elminate buffer overflow
3446 expanded and corrected documentation
3448 fixed problem with smartd. It did not actually call
3449 ataSmartEnable()! Since the argument was left out, the test
3450 always suceeded because it evaluated to a pointer to the function.
3452 smartd: closed open file descriptors if device does not support
3453 smart. Note: this still needs to be fixed for SCSI devices
3456 smartmontools-5.0-0 STARTED with smartsuite-2.1-2
