kernel version greater than or equal to 2.2.14. So any recent
Linux distribution should support smartmontools.
- There are two parts of smartmontools that may require a patched or
- nonstandard kernel:
-
- (1) To get the ATA RETURN SMART STATUS command, the kernel needs
- to support the HDIO_DRIVE_TASK ioctl().
-
- (2) To run Selective Self-tests, the kernel needs to support the
- HDIO_DRIVE_TASKFILE ioctl().
-
- If your kernel does not support one or both of these ioctls, then
- smartmontools will "mostly" work. The things that don't work will
- give you harmless warning messages.
-
- Although "not officially supported" by the developers, smartmontools
- has also been successfully build and run on a legacy Linux system
- with kernel 2.0.33 and libc.so.5. On such systems, the restrictions
- above apply.
-
- For item (1) above, any 2.4 or 2.6 series kernel will provide
- HDIO_DRIVE_TASK support. Some 2.2.20 and later kernels also
- provide this support IF they're properly patched and
- configured. [Andre Hedrick's IDE patches may be found at
- http://www.funet.fi/pub/linux/kernel/people/hedrick/ide-2.2.20/ or
- are available from your local kernel.org mirror. They are not
- updated for 2.2.21 or later, and may contain a few bugs.].
- If the configuration option CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL
- exists in your 2.2.X kernel source code tree, then your 2.2.X
- kernel will probably support this ioctl. [Note that this kernel
- configuration option does NOT need to be enabled. Its presence
- merely indicates that the required HDIO_DRIVE_TASK ioctl() is
- supported.]
-
- For item (2) above, your kernel must be configured with the kernel
- configuration option CONFIG_IDE_TASKFILE_IO enabled. This
- configuration option is present in all 2.4 and 2.6 series
- kernels. Some 2.2.20 and later kernels also provide this support
- IF they're properly patched and configured as described above.
-
- Please see FAQ section of the URL above for additional details.
-
- If you are using 3ware controllers, for full functionality you
- must either use version 1.02.00.037 or greater of the 3w-xxxx
- driver, or patch earlier 3ware 3w-xxxx drivers. See
- http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/3w-xxxx.txt
- for the patch. The version 1.02.00.037 3w-xxxx.c driver was
- incorporated into kernel 2.4.23-bk2 on 3 December 2003 and into
- kernel 2.6.0-test5-bk11 on 23 September 2003.
-
B) FreeBSD
For FreeBSD support, a 5-current kernel that includes ATAng is
E) Cygwin
- The code was tested on Cygwin 1.5.7, 1.5.11 and 1.5.18-22. It should
- also work on other recent releases.
-
- Release 1.5.15 or later is recommended for Cygwin smartd. Older versions
- do not provide syslogd support.
+ The code was tested on Cygwin 1.7.15-1. It should also work on other
+ recent releases.
Both Cygwin and Windows versions of smartmontools share the same code
to access the IDE/ATA or SCSI devices. The information in the "Windows"
F) Windows
- The code was tested on Windows 98SE, NT4(SP5,SP6), 2000(SP4),
- XP(no SP,SP1a,SP2) and Vista RC 1. It should also work on Windows
- 95(OSR2), 98, ME and 2003.
-
- On 9x/ME, only standard (legacy) IDE/ATA devices 0-3 are supported.
- The driver SMARTVSD.VXD must be present in WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS
- to get loaded at Windows startup. The default location in a new
- installation of some versions of Windows is the WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder.
- In this case, move SMARTVSD.VXD to WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS and reboot
- (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/265854/en-us).
- SMARTVSD.VXD may also be missing in a new installation
- (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/199886/en-us).
-
- SMARTVSD.VXD relies on the standard IDE port driver ESDI_506.PDR.
- If the system uses a vendor specific driver, access of SMART data
- is not possible on 9x/ME. This is the case if e.g. the optional
- "IDE miniport driver" is installed on a system with VIA chipset.
-
- Some ATA controllers (e.g. Promise) provided a custom SMARTVSD.VXD
- for their Win9x/ME driver. To access SMART data from both the legacy
- (/dev/h[a-d]) and this additional (/dev/hd[e-h]) controller, rename
- this file to SMARTVSE.VXD. Open the file with a hex editor and replace
- all occurrences of the string "SMARTVSD" with "SMARTVSE". Then reinstall
- the original Windows SMARTVSD.VXD.
-
- On NT4/2000/XP/2003, ATA or SATA devices are supported if the device
- driver implements the SMART IOCTL.
-
- The IDE/ATA read log command (smartctl -l, --log, -a, --all) is
- not supported by the SMART IOCTL of NT4/2000/XP. Undocumented
- and possibly buggy system calls are used for this purpose,
- see WARNINGS file for details.
-
- SCSI devices are supported on all versions of Windows. An installed
- ASPI interface (WNASPI32.DLL) is required to access SCSI devices.
- The code was tested with Adaptec Windows ASPI drivers 4.71.2.
- (http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/support/scsi_soft/ASPI/ASPI-4.70/)
- Links to other ASPI drivers can be found at http://www.nu2.nu/aspi/.
-
- 3ware 9000 RAID controllers are supported using new features available
+ The code was tested on Windows XP SP3, 2003, Vista, Windows 7, 8, 8.1
+ and Windows 10 Release Preview. Support von Windows 9x/ME and NT4 was
+ removed after smartmontools 5.43.
+
+ ATA or SATA devices are supported if the device driver implements
+ the SMART IOCTLs or IOCTL_IDE_PASS_THROUGH or IOCTL_ATA_PASS_THROUGH.
+ Only the latter provides full pass-through support which is needed
+ for all smartmontools features.
+
+ SCSI and USB devices are accessed through SPTI. Special driver support
+ is not required.
+
+ 3ware 9000 RAID controllers are supported using features available
in the Windows driver release 9.4.0 (3wareDrv.sys 3.0.2.70) or later.
Older drivers provide SMART access to the first physical drive (port)
of each logical drive (unit). If driver support is not available
hard drive comes with the offline test switched on by default, so
even that works.
+ The OS X SAT SMART Driver provides access to SMART data for SAT capable
+ USB and Firewire devices:
+ https://github.com/kasbert/OS-X-SAT-SMART-Driver
+ https://github.com/RJVB/OS-X-SAT-SMART-Driver
+ This does not require any smartctl -d TYPE option and should work also
+ with older smartmontools releases.
+
H) OS/2, eComStation
The code was tested on eComStation 1.1, but it should work on all versions
of OS/2.
Innotek LibC 0.5 runtime is required.
- Currently only ATA disks are supported, SCSI support will be added.
+ Only ATA disks are supported.

-[2] Installing from CVS
+[2] Installing from SVN
=======================
- Get the sources from the CVS repository:
- cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@smartmontools.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/smartmontools login
- cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@smartmontools.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/smartmontools co sm5
- (when prompted for a password, just press Enter)
+
+ Get the sources from the SVN repository:
+ svn co http://svn.code.sf.net/p/smartmontools/code/trunk/smartmontools smartmontools
Then type:
./autogen.sh
and continue with step [3] below, skipping the "unpack the tarball" step.
- Further details of using CVS can be found at the URL above.
-
The autogen.sh command is ONLY required when installing from
- CVS. You need GNU Autoconf (version 2.50 or greater), GNU Automake
- (version 1.6 or greater) and their dependencies installed in order
+ SVN. You need GNU Autoconf (version 2.50 or greater), GNU Automake
+ (version 1.7 or greater) and their dependencies installed in order
to run it. You can get these here:

- http://www.gnu.org/directory/GNU/automake.html
+ http://directory.fsf.org/project/autoconf/
+ http://directory.fsf.org/project/automake/
[3] Installing from the source tarball
======================================
- If you are NOT installing from CVS, then unpack the tarball:
+ If you are NOT installing from SVN, then unpack the tarball:
tar zxvf smartmontools-5.VERSION.tar.gz
Then:
make install (you may need to be root to do this)
As shown (with no options to ./configure) this defaults to the
- following set of installation directories:

+ --without-attributelog
+ --with-os-deps='os_linux.o dev_areca.o' (platform specific)
+ --without-selinux
+ --with-libcap-ng=auto
+ --with-working-snprintf
These will usually not overwrite existing "distribution" installations on
Linux Systems since the FHS reserves this area for use by the system
For different installation locations or distributions, simply add
arguments to ./configure as shown in [4] below.
- If you wish to alter the default C compiler flags, set an
- environment variable CFLAGS='your options' before doing
+ If you wish to alter the default C++ compiler flags, set an
+ environment variable CXXFLAGS='your options' before doing
./configure, or else do:
- make CFLAGS='your options'
+ make CXXFLAGS='your options'
+
+ The first output line of smartctl and smartd provides information
+ about release number, last SVN checkin date and revison, platform,
+ and package. The latter defaults to "(local build)" and can be
+ changed by the variable BUILD_INFO, for example:
+ make BUILD_INFO='"(Debian 5.39-2)"'

==========================
the following:

--with-initscriptdir=/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ \
- --with-docdir=/usr/local/share/doc/smartmontools-VERSION \

- Also, it is important that you use GNU make (gmake from /usr/ports/devel/gmake)
- to build smartmontools, as the default FreeBSD make doesn't know how to build
- the man pages.
+ --enable-sample
NOTE: --enable-sample will cause the smartd.conf and smartd RC files to
be installed with the string '.sample' append to the name, so you will end
up with the following:
- /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf.sample
- /usr/local/etc/rc.d/smartd.sample
+ /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf.sample

- --with-docdir=/usr/share/doc/smartmontools-VERSION \
+ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/smartmontools-VERSION \

To start the script automatically on bootup, create hardlinks that
indicate when to start/stop in:
- /etc/rc[S0123].d/
+ /etc/rc[S0123].d/
pointing to /etc/init.d/smartd. Create:
- K<knum>smartd in rcS.d, rc0.d, rc1.d, rc2.d
- S<snum>smartd in rc3.d
+ K<knum>smartd in rcS.d, rc0.d, rc1.d, rc2.d
+ S<snum>smartd in rc3.d
where <knum> is related to <snum> such that the higher snum is the
lower knum must be.

Using DOS text file type as default for the working directories ("textmode"
mount option) is not recommended. Building the binaries and man pages using
file type ("binmode" mount option) set. The "autogen.sh" script prints a
warning if DOS type is selected.
- If installing from CVS, you may check out all files either with CR/LF
- or LF line endings. Starting with release 3.1-7, Cygwin's bash does no
- longer accept scripts with CR/LF by default. To run the initial script
- ./autogen.sh checked out with CR/LF on a "binmode" mount, type:
-
- bash -O igncr ./autogen.sh
-
- instead. This is not necessary for the generated ./configure script.
+ Files may also be checked out with a non-Cygwin SVN client which uses CR/LF
+ for svn:eol-style=native. The "autogen.sh" script has svn:eol-style=LF.
+ Bash option "-o igncr" is not required.

+
+ It is also possible to (cross-)build the installer on Linux.
+ This was successfully tested on Debian and Fedora with package
+ "nsis".
+
+To create a combined 32-/64-bit installer, use this in 32-bit build
+directory if 64-build directory is at ../build64:
+
+ make builddir_win64=../build64 installer_win32
To both create and run the (interactive) installer, use:
The binary distribution includes all documentation files converted
to DOS text file format and *.html and *.txt preformatted man pages.
- The tools unix2dos.exe (package cygutils) and zip.exe (package zip
- or a native Win32 release of Info-ZIP, http://www.info-zip.org) are
- necessary but may be not installed by Cygwin's default settings.
- It is also possible to compile smartmontools with MSVC 6.0.
- The project files (smartmontools_vc6.dsw, smart{ctl,d}_vc6.dsp) are
- included in CVS (but not in source tarball). The config_vc6.h is no
- longer maintained in CVS. The command:

+ ../configure [... any MinGW option set from above ...]
+ make config-vc10
- builds config_vc6.h from MinGW's config.h. Unlike MinGW, MSVC 6.0
- can also be used to build the syslog message file tool syslogevt.exe.
- See smartd man page for usage information about this tool.
+ The MSVC project files (os_win32/vc10/*) are included in SVN (but not
+ in source tarball). The target config-vc10 from a Makefile configured
+ for MinGW creates os_win32/vc10/{config.h,smart*.rc,svnversion.h}.
+ The configure skript must be run outside of the source directory to
+ avoid inclusion of the original config.h.

+===========================
To match the way it will installed when it becomes available as a PORT, use
the following:

- NOTE1: --with-initscriptdir installs a SystemV startup script. It really
- should be --without-initscriptdir, but the Makefile code is incorrect and
- trys to install the initscript (smartd) to /no. So, an interim fix it to
- set the initscript dir to the doc dir.

The commands:
make MAN2HTML='groff -man -Thtml' htmlman
+Some of the source files are prepared for the documentation
+generator Doxygen (http://www.doxygen.org/). If Doxygen is installed,
+the command:
+
+doxygen
+
+creates HTML documentation in doc/html and LaTeX documentation
+in doc/latex. If TeX is installed, the following command creates
+a documentation file doc/latex/refman.pdf:
+
+( cd doc/latex && make pdf )

[14] Detailed description of arguments to configure command
===========================================================
When you type:
-./configure [options]
-there are six particularly important variables that affect where the
-smartmontools software is installed. The variables are listed here,
-with their default values in square brackets, and the quantities that
-they affect described following that. This is a very wide table: please read
-it in a wide window.
-
-OPTIONS DEFAULT AFFECTS
-------- ------- -------
---prefix /usr/local Please see below
---sbindir ${prefix}/sbin Directory for smartd/smartctl executables;
- Contents of smartd/smartctl man pages
---mandir ${prefix}/share/man Directory for smartctl/smartd/smartd.conf man pages
---sysconfdir ${prefix}/etc Directory for smartd.conf;
- Contents of smartd executable;
- Contents of smartd/smartd.conf man pages;
- Directory for rc.d/init.d/smartd init script
---with-initscriptdir ${sysconfdir}/init.d/rc.d Location of init scripts
---with-docdir ${prefix}/share/doc/smartmontools-5.X Location of the documentation
---enable-sample --disable-sample Adds the string '.sample' to the names of the smartd.conf file and the smartd RC file
+./configure --help
+a description of available configure options is printed
+[with defaults in square brackets]. See also section [3] above.
+
+
+The following old configure options are deprecated and will be removed
+in a future release of smartmontools:
+
+Old option Replacement
+--with-docdir=DIR --docdir=DIR (autoconf >= 2.60)
+--enable-drivedb [no option needed]
+--disable-drivedb --without-drivedbdir
+--enable-savestates --with-savestates[=yes]
+--disable-savestates [no option needed]
+--enable-attrbutelog --with-attributelog[=yes]
+--disable-savestates [no option needed]
+
+
+The defaults for --with-initscriptdir and --with-systemdsystemunitdir are
+guessed such that the following rules apply:
+- If --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc is specified, the guessed directories
+ should be the defaults used by the current OS or distribution.
+- If --sysconfdir=/etc is NOT specified, the guessed directories should
+ always be below ${prefix} or below ${sysconfdir}.
Here's an example:
If you set --prefix=/home/joe and none of the other four
variables then the different directories that are used would be:
--sbindir /home/joe/sbin
+--docdir /home/joe/share/doc/smartmontools
--mandir /home/joe/share/man
--sysconfdir /home/joe/etc
---with-initscriptdir /home/joe/etc/init.d/rc.d
---with-docdir /home/joe/doc/smartmontools-5.X
+--with-exampledir /home/joe/share/doc/smartmontools/examplescripts
+--with-drivedbdir /home/joe/share/smartmontools
+--with-initscriptdir [see below]
+--with-systemdsystemunitdir [see below]
-This is useful for test installs in a harmless subdirectory somewhere.
+If systemd is present (and pkg-config reports /lib/systemd/system
+as the systemdsystemunitdir):
-Here are the four possible cases for the four variables above:
+--with-initscriptdir [disabled]
+--with-systemdsystemunitdir /home/joe/lib/systemd/system
-Case 1:
---prefix not set
---variable not set
-===> VARIABLE gets default value above
+else if /etc/rc.d/init.d exists:
-Case 2:
---prefix set
---variable not set
-===> VARIABLE gets PREFIX/ prepended to default value above
+--with-initscriptdir /home/joe/etc/rc.d/init.d
+--with-systemdsystemunitdir [disabled]
+
+else if /etc/init.d exists:
+
+--with-initscriptdir /home/joe/etc/init.d
+--with-systemdsystemunitdir [disabled]
+
+else if /etc/rc.d exists:
+
+--with-initscriptdir /home/joe/etc/rc.d
+--with-systemdsystemunitdir [disabled]
-Case 3:
---prefix not set
---variable set
-===> VARIABLE gets value that is set
+else
-Case 4:
---prefix is set
---variable is set
-===> PREFIX is IGNORED, VARIABLE gets value that is set
+--with-initscriptdir [disabled]
+--with-systemdsystemunitdir [disabled]
Here are the differences with and without --enable-sample, assuming
-no other options specified (see above for details)
+that initscript location is set and no other options specified
+(see above for details)
Case 1:
--enable-sample provided
==> Files installed are:
- /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf.sample
- /usr/local/etc/rc.d/init.d/smartd.sample
+ /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf.sample
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/init.d/smartd.sample
Case 2:
--disable-sample provided or parameter left out
==> Files installed are:
- /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf
- /usr/local/etc/rc.d/init.d/smartd
+ /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/init.d/smartd
