SMART Testing

smartctl

USB Hard Drives

  • Add -d sat

For Seagate USB hard drives, it will run in uas mode and smart won't work.
See https://askubuntu.com/questions/637450/cannot-perform-smart-data-and-self-test-on-external-hard-drive.
To fix this:

  1. Run lsusb to find the id of your HDD
    • It should start with 0bc2.
  2. Create file /etc/modprobe.d/ignore_uas.conf and add this following: 
    • options usb-storage quirks=[ids]
    • E.g. options usb-storage quirks=0bc2:ab31:,0bc2:a0a4:
  3. Run sudo update-initramfs -u
  4. Reboot

Remote monitoring

See Reference

  1. Install the following: 
    sudo apt install mailutils msmtp msmtp-mta smartmontools
  2. Edit /etc/smartd.conf
  3. Add some options

See smartd.conf reference

Example: 

/dev/disk/by-id/usb-WD_easystore_264D_394B47573334314C-0:0 -s (S/../../6/01) -a -m [email protected] -M test -M daily
  • -a turns on some defaults for checking smart attributes
  • -M Test sends a test email when smartd starts
  • -M daily sends daily reminders for failures
  • -s (S/../../6/01) runs a short test every saturday at 1AM.

gsmartcontrol

gsmartcontrol is a GUI frontend for smartctl
