Useful S.M.A.R.T command usages

Monday, January 12th, 2009

I have just checked the hard disk status of my Linux home server. I found that the hard disk has already run for 20845 hours (868 days). Also, it displays there are 94 errors occurred. I guess it may malfunction suddenly. Although S.M.A.R.T is just a reference and it is not 100% accurate, it is better to do a full backup to prevent data loss.

Useful S.M.A.R.T command usages:
Prints all SMART information
smartctl -a /dev/hda
Show device SMART health status
smartctl -H /dev/hda
