I'll run the tests separately on each drive then. I thought it could be done on a partition. I can execute most smartctl commands from the command line but would like it monitored by the smartd daemon instead of running a script. By the documentation at https://linux.die.net/man/5/smartd.conf it seems the commands below work in the smartd.conf after restart after removing the -H and substituting it with an -a?

You mean with one "test all disks" smartctl command? No, I don't think that is possible. You can certainly start all of the tests sequentially with no delay, which is pretty much the same thing. Then wait however long is necessary for that disk type and read back all the results. In theory. For some reason my test script does them sequentially - I may have been worried about what the RAID would do if all the disks were busy self testing at the same time. Doing them sequentially in a script (with or without delays) isn't a big deal, something along the lines of: /usr/sbin/smartctl -t long /dev/sda -d sat+megaraid,0 sleep 10300 logger "Done smartctl -t long /dev/sda -d sat+megaraid,0" /usr/sbin/smartctl -t long /dev/sda -d sat+megaraid,1 sleep 10300 logger "Done smartctl -t long /dev/sda -d sat+megaraid,1" etc. then read all the results. Use a loop if you don't want to write them all out. It would also be fine to read the result for a disk immediately after each long test completes. > 4. Once I enable smartctl on the command line for a drive is it on > permanently or does it need to be enabled through the smartd.conf file? Once enabled it should stay on until the system reboots. That command changes a state which is stored on the drive. The state will not survive a power cycle. Regards, David Mathog mathog@...
