====== SMART ======

====== Install ======
 apt-get install smartmontools
====== Test smartctl ======
<del>smartctl -a -d ata /dev/sda</del> <-> Debian Etch
 smartctl -a /dev/sda

====== Config Default Smart Service ======
 vi /etc/smartd.conf
 #DEVICESCAN -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner
 #comment out the above, and include the following for the two hard disks.
 /dev/sda -a <del>-d ata</del> -m root -l error -l selftest -t
 /dev/sdb -a <del>-d ata</del> -m root -l error -l selftest -t


Even though the hard drive was an sata - I had to use "-d ata" in the above line. It all worked perfect after the above. Munin then ties in with smartd to take regular readings and produce graphs.

 vi /etc/default/smartmontools and uncomment: start_smartd=yes 

====== Test SMART for any Errors ======
 smartctl -t short /dev/sdb
 smartctl -l selftest /dev/sdb
