Re: smartctl /smartd

[Jean Francois Martinez <jfm512 free fr>]

In fact smartmontools is an evolution of the smartd,smartctl you get in
kernel-utils.  Smartmontools is FAR better documented (a requirement for
something as technical and close to hardware), has additional
possibilities and looks like it knows of evolutions of the SMART
standard who didn't exit when the original smartd was finished.  Now
what remains to do is persuade RedHat to
smartmontools is the way to go.
