Identify Drives
ls -la /dev/disk/by-id
Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.)
Linux uses SmartMonTools to access the SMART information.
smartctl 5.43 2012-06-30 r3573 [x86_64-linux-3.3.8-gentoo] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-12 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net
The examples below use /dev/sda as the first internal hard disk drive, and /dev/sdb as the external usb drive.
Scan For Devices
smartctl --scan
Device Driver
smartctl --device=test /dev/sda /dev/sda: Device of type 'scsi' [SCSI] detected /dev/sda [SAT]: Device open changed type from 'scsi' to 'sat' /dev/sda [SAT]: Device of type 'sat' [ATA] opened
So, we use the sat driver for this device.
Turn SMART Feature ON
smartctl --device=sat --smart=on /dev/sda
Information
smartctl --device=sat --all /dev/sda
Health Check
smartctl --device=sat --health /dev/sda
Tests - Internal Drives
Self-Test: Short (internal SATA)
smartctl --device=sat --test=short /dev/sda
Self-Test: Medium (internal SATA)
smartctl --device=sat --test=conveyance /dev/sda
Self-Test: Long (internal SATA)
smartctl --device=sat --test=long /dev/sda
Tests - USB External Drives
Self-Test: Short
smartctl --device=sat,16 --test=short /dev/sdb
Self-Test: Medium
smartctl --device=sat,16 --test=conveyance /dev/sdb
Self-Test: Long
smartctl --device=sat,16 --test=long /dev/sdb
The last long test on an external USB drive may need to be combined with this series of commands to stop the kernel from sleeping the drive:-
while true; do dd if=/dev/sdX iflag=direct count=1 of=/dev/null; sleep 60s; done
Tests Stop
smartctl --device=sat --abort /dev/sda
