# HERE IS A LIST OF DIRECTIVES FOR THIS CONFIGURATION FILE.
# PLEASE SEE THE smartd.conf MAN PAGE FOR DETAILS
#
-# -d TYPE Set the device type: ata, scsi, marvell, removable, 3ware,N
+# -d TYPE Set the device type: ata, scsi, marvell, removable, 3ware,N, hpt,L/M/N
# -T TYPE set the tolerance to one of: normal, permissive
# -o VAL Enable/disable automatic offline tests (on/off)
# -S VAL Enable/disable attribute autosave (on/off)
# -I ID Ignore Attribute ID for -p, -u or -t Directive
# -C ID Report if Current Pending Sector count non-zero
# -U ID Report if Offline Uncorrectable count non-zero
+# -W D,I,C Monitor Temperature D)ifference, I)nformal limit, C)ritical limit
# -v N,ST Modifies labeling of Attribute N (see man page)
# -a Default: equivalent to -H -f -t -l error -l selftest -C 197 -U 198
# -F TYPE Use firmware bug workaround. Type is one of: none, samsung
# All but -d, -m and -M Directives are only implemented for ATA devices
#
# If the test string DEVICESCAN is the first uncommented text
-# then smartd will scan for devices /dev/hd[a-l] and /dev/sd[a-z]
+# then smartd will scan for devices.
# DEVICESCAN may be followed by any desired Directives.
