Hopefully, but I believe the only supported (public) SMART interface is the 'predictive failure bit'. Each drive vendor has a slew of other internal variables, but they don't publish the specs because they generally don't want folks second-guessing their internal algorithms. However, I believe there is also a SCSI environmental sensor protocol that can do things like temperature monitoring that we'll also want to incorporate in future diagnosis engines. The current thumper-specific diagnosis engine does this, but we're working on generalizing the framework and more tightly integrating with ZFS. - Eric -- Eric Schrock, Solaris Kernel Development http://blogs.sun.com/eschrock _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
