Introduction to Smartmontools

The smartmontools package contains two utility programs (smartctl and smartd) to control and monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (SMART) built into most modern ATA and SCSI hard disks. In many cases, these utilities will provide advanced warning of disk degradation and failure.

Non-Multilib

Compile the package:

sed -i '/$(initddir)\/smartd/d' Makefile.in
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --with-initscriptdir=/etc/rc.d/init.d &&
make

Install the package:

make install

Multilib

This package does not provide any libraries so only one installation is needed.

64Bit

Compile the package:

sed -i '/$(initddir)\/smartd/d' Makefile.in
CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD64}" \
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --with-initscriptdir=/etc/rc.d/init.d &&
make

Install the package:

make install
