Rak, Thanks! The Google paper is intense. I was hoping to get some practical usage with command or scripts to better monitor my SMART environment. On Sat, Aug 30, 2008 at 4:57 AM, Richard Karhuse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Sat, Aug 30, 2008 at 4:08 AM, Mag Gam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote

Thankyou Anne. I just installed this and its seems to work. I am behind a RAID controller so hopefully anyone with cciss drivers can shed some light. I am able to see my logical devices but I have 6 drives per logical device. I would like to see all 12 drive status if possible. On Sat, Aug 30,

Thankyou again. I suppose I can take a look at smartd to get log files and have them forward to syslog-ng, unless smartd has an email feature :-) What does your smartd config look like for HP P400/800 controller? I would be curious to look at that. TIA On Sat, Aug 30, 2008 at 10:15 AM, Mogens
