AMD Raid SMART Tests Ubuntu Server

  • 772

I have an AMD SB with Raid 1 set up through that. I installed Ubuntu Server with no problems. However I know through windows one can set up SMART Tests with AMD's software. Is there a way to run SMART tests on a recurring schedule in Ubuntu and have it email failures?

    Alright I found that smartmontools works even with hardware raid.

    sudo apt-get install smartmontools

    Information

    smartctl -i /dev/sda

    Turn SMART On for sda

    smartctl -s on /dev/sda

    Get estimates

    smartctl -c /dev/sda

    Run a long test

    smartctl -t long /dev/sda

    Display test results

    smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda
