Linux software raid and S.M.A.R.T monitoring

If you want to monitor SMART settings on your debian/ubuntu system you will have to install

apt-get install smartmontools

If your SMART is disabled, use this command to test them

smartctl -s on -t short -d ata /dev/sda

after that you can check status with

smartctl --all /dev/sdb

To check status of your raid you can do

mdadm --detail /dev/md0
