For those still reading, here some useful bit of Info. Thanks Bruce! Bruce Allen, the maintainer of smartmontools, asked me to forward this to the list (the world's small):

Volker, as far as I can tell, most or all of what you have said in this thread is correct. Note: I'd be grateful for an updated version of the document above which covers additional file systems (eg, ReiserFS). Cheers, Bruce Matthew, if you could type something similar up for reiserfs, no doubt many people would appreciate it. Thanks all, Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
