Hi,
I've got smartd going on a gmirror system, however when smartd starts up
it says it can't find the various drives. I've tried both the autodetection
line as well as specifying the individual drives. If this does work i'd like
to know about it as i believe i might have one failing drive, but am not
sure which one.
Thanks.
Dave.

can tell me how best to monitor the hardware status to detect imminent

of one of the disks? Do I use something like smartctl in a cron or what?
When you installed smartmontools to get smartctl, it should have also
installed smartd. It will run in the background and notify you of
significant changes. man smartd for details.
