SYNOPSIS
smartctl [-cdeglostv] [device]
DESCRIPTION
smartctl controls the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System(S.M.A.R.T.) built into ATA-3 and later IDE and SCSI-3 Hard
Drives. This is used to check the reliability of the hard drive and predict drive failures. TapeAlerts support for SCSI tape drives and
changers smartctl is command line utility designed to perform simple S.M.A.R.T. tasks.
OPTIONS
smartctl accepts two agruments, options and device in respective order. The options begin with a '-' and multiple options should be begun
with a single '-'. The second argument is the device to be controled. ATA device use the form "/dev/hd*" and SCSI devices use the form
"/dev/sd*". SCSI devices use only options a,i,c,e,d. For SCSI Tape Drives and Changers with TapeAlerts support use the form "/dev/st*" and
"/dev/sg*". TapeAlerts devices use only a,i,c,e,d.
