# Sample configuration file for smartd. See man smartd.conf. # Home page is: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net # smartd will re-read the configuration file if it receives a HUP # signal # The file gives a list of devices to monitor using smartd, with one # device per line. Text after a hash (#) is ignored, and you may use # spaces and tabs for white space. You may use '\' to continue lines. # You can usually identify which hard disks are on your system by # looking in /proc/ide and in /proc/scsi. # The word DEVICESCAN will cause any remaining lines in this # configuration file to be ignored: it tells smartd to scan for all # ATA and SCSI devices. DEVICESCAN may be followed by any of the # Directives listed below, which will be applied to all devices that # are found. Most users should comment out DEVICESCAN and explicitly # list the devices that they wish to monitor. DEVICESCAN # First (primary) ATA/IDE hard disk. Monitor all attributes, enable # automatic online data collection, automatic Attribute autosave, and # do a short self-test every day at 2am, and a long self test # Saturdays at 3am. /dev/hda -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03) # Monitor SMART status, ATA Error Log, Self-test log, and track # changes in all attributes except for attribute 194 /dev/hdb -H -l error -l selftest -t -I 194 # A very silent check.
