i put a small program, disk/smart, on sources
that does simple smart monitoring for scsi and
ata disks.
contrib/install quanstro/smart
for ata disks, quanstro/sd is required. atapi
devices could be monitored via ata or or scsi
commands or both, but i don't have access to
any devices that support either.
for example,
chula# disk/smart -at
sdE0: normal
sda2: normal
sda1: normal
sda0: normal
one final note, i found last night that amd sb690
ahci has some bugs that cause smart to generate
incorrect output. i'm testing some fixes.
thanks to steve for putting up with earlier versions.
bug report, comments, critique welcome.
