KVM Host S.M.A.R.T

The S.M.A.R.T system is used in almost all disks today, and is in many cases able to report that a a disk is about to fail. Using the S.M.A.R.T features we can make sure that we replace the faulty hardware before it becomes a real problem.

Install the smartmontools package. 

apt-get install smartmontools

Edit /etc/smartd.conf and comment the DEVICESCAN line. 

#DEVICESCAN -d removable -n standby -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner

Add the following to the end of the file 

/dev/sdc -d ata -l error -l xerror -l selftest -s L/../../4/04 -m root -M daily -f
/dev/sdd -d ata -l error -l xerror -l selftest -s L/../../4/04 -m root -M daily -f

Restart the smartd service. 

service smartd restart
