------------------------
To start smartd automatically on system startup set:
start_smartd=yes
in /etc/default/smartmontools. If you only want to enable S.M.A.R.T. for a
device without running the daemon use the enable_smart variable.
Don't use enable_smart for any disk monitored by smartd, this is likely to
cause problems, especially for SATA (see e.g.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=365027).
Package Maintainers and system administrators can put scripts to be run
when smartd detects an error into /etc/smartmontools/run.d. These
scripts will be run by smartd-runner using run-parts(8). The script will
receive the filename of the file containing the errormessage as first
parameter. See /etc/smartmontools/run.d/10mail for an example.
Upstream recommends running short self tests every day and long self tests once
per week.
Please read the file WARNINGS in this directory.
