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

+ 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
E) Cygwin
- The code was tested on Cygwin 1.5.7, 1.5.11 and 1.5.18. 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) and
- XP(no SP,SP1a,SP2). 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 added
- to the 3ware 9000 Windows driver. These features are not implemented
- in the latest 'Released' driver (9.3.0.6) available at the time of
- this writing. But an 'in Engineering Phase' driver v3.00.02.061 or
- later can be used to access SMART functionality of each individual
- drive. Older drivers provide SMART access only to the first drive
- (port) of each unit. The commands READ LOG and ABORT SELFTEST are
- still unsupported due to the limitations of SMART IOCTL (see above).
+ The code was tested on Windows XP SP3, 2003, Vista, Windows 7 and
+ Windows 8 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
+ (7000/8000 series, 9000 on XP 64), smartctl can be used to parse SMART
+ data output from CLI or 3DM.
G) MacOS/Darwin
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
Innotek LibC 0.5 runtime is required.
Currently only ATA disks are supported, SCSI support will be added.

-[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 https://smartmontools.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/smartmontools/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/autoconf.html
- 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:
+ following set of installation directories:
--prefix=/usr/local
--sbindir=/usr/local/sbin
--sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc
--mandir=/usr/local/share/man

+ --with-drivedbdir=/usr/local/share/smartmontools
+ --with-initscriptdir=auto
+ --with-systemdsystemunitdir=auto
+ --enable-drivedb
+ --disable-attributelog
--disable-sample
+ --disable-savestates
+ --with-libcap-ng=auto
+ --without-selinux
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)"'

[5] Guidelines for FreeBSD
==========================
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
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/smartd.sample
[6] Guidelines for Darwin
If you'd like to build the i386 version on a powerpc machine, you can
use
- CC='gcc -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch i386' \
+ CXX='g++ -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch i386' \

[8] Guidelines for Solaris
==========================
smartmontools has been partially but not completely ported to
Solaris. It includes complete SCSI support but no ATA or 3ware
- support. It can be compiled with either cc or gcc. To compile
- with gcc:
+ support. It can be compiled with either CC (Sun's C++ compiler)
+ or GNU g++.
+
+ To compile with g++:
./configure [args]

+ To compile with Sun CC:
- setenv CC cc [csh syntax], or
- CC=cc [sh syntax]
- ./configure [args]
+ env CC=cc CXX=CC ./configure [args]
make
The correct arguments [args] to configure are:
--sbindir=/usr/sbin \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
- --with-docdir=/usr/share/doc/smartmontools-VERSION \
+ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/smartmontools-VERSION \
--with-initscriptdir=/etc/init.d
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.

+ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/smartmontools \
+ --with-initscriptdir=/etc/rc.d/init.d
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.
+ 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.

-To compile the Windows release with MinGW, use the following on Cygwin:
+To compile the Windows release with MinGW gcc on MSYS, use:
- ./configure --build=mingw32

- 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

+ by passing 'WINDMC=no' to configure.
+
+To prepare os_win32 directory for MS Visual Studio C++ 2010 [Express],
+use the following on MSYS or Cygwin:
- make config-vc6
+ mkdir vctmp && cd vctmp
+ ../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,svnversion}.h from
+ ./{config,svnversion}.h. The configure skript must be run outside
+ of the source directory to avoid inclusion of the original config.h.

+--disable-drivedb --enable-drivedb Disables default drive database file '${drivedbdir}/drivedb.h'
+--with-drivedbdir ${prefix}/share/smartmontools Directory for 'drivedb.h' (implies --enable-drivedb)
+--enable-savestates --disable-savestates Enables default smartd state files '${savestates}MODEL-SERIAL.ata.state'
+--with-savestates ${prefix}/var/lib/smartmontools/smartd. Prefix for smartd state files (implies --enable-savestates)
+--enable-attributelog --disable-attributelog Enables default smartd attribute log files
+--with-attributelog ${prefix}/var/lib/smartmontools/attrlog. Prefix for smartd attribute log files (implies --enable-attributelog)
+
+Please note that in previous versions of smartmontools (<= 5.39) the
+default for --with-docdir was
+ ${prefix}/share/doc/smartmontools-VERSION
+This was changed to make it consistent with the default of the
+new --docdir option added in autoconf 2.60.
+
+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]
+
+If systemd is present (and pkg-config reports /lib/systemd/system
+as the systemdsystemunitdir):
+
+--with-initscriptdir [disabled]
+--with-systemdsystemunitdir /home/joe/lib/systemd/system
+
+else if /etc/rc.d/init.d exists:
+
+--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]
+
+else
+
+--with-initscriptdir [disabled]
+--with-systemdsystemunitdir [disabled]
This is useful for test installs in a harmless subdirectory somewhere.
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
