Hard disk monitoring and analysis tool: smartctl

Smartctl（S.M.A.R.T Self monitoring , Analysis and Reporting Technology ） It's a class Unix Implementation under system SMART Task command line suite or tool , It's for printing SMART Self inspection and Error log , Enable and disable SMRAT Automatic detection , And initialize the device self-test .

Smartctl about Linux Physics The server Very useful , In these The server On , You can perform error checking on smart disks , And will Hardware RAID Extract the relevant disk information .

In this post , We will discuss smartctl Some practical examples of commands . If your Linux Not installed in Shanghai smartctl, Please follow the steps below to install .

Long test

1. [email protected]:~# smartctl --test=long/dev/sdb
2. smartctl 6.22013-07-26 r3841 [x86_64-linux-3.13.0-32-generic](local build)

5. === START OF OFFLINE IMMEDIATE AND SELF-TEST SECTION ===
6. Sending command:"Execute SMART Extended self-test routine immediately in off-line mode".
7. Drive command "Execute SMART Extended self-test routine immediately in off-line mode" successful.

9. Please wait 102 minutes for test to complete.
10. Test will complete after SunNov1614:29:432014
12. Use smartctl -X to abort test.

perhaps , We can redirect the test output to the log file , It looks like this

1. [email protected]:~# smartctl --test=long/dev/sdb >/var/log/long.text

Short test

1. [email protected]:~# smartctl --test=short/dev/sdb

9. Please wait 1 minutes for test to complete.
10. Test will complete after SunNov1612:51:452014
12. Use smartctl -X to abort test.

or

1. [email protected]:~# smartctl --test=short/dev/sdb >/var/log/short.text

Be careful ：short The test will cost the most 2 minute , And in the long There is no time limit in the test , Because it will read and verify every segment of the disk .

Examples ：7 Check the self-test results of the drive

1. [email protected]:~# smartctl -l selftest /dev/sdb
