Install the smartmontools package from Yast. Use the smartctl command to initially test the disk : smartctl -t long /dev/hda You can do this on a running system. The test is asynchronous. To see if the test has finished type : smartctl -c /dev/hda | less Look at some of the ondisk logs : smartctl -l error | less smartctl -l selftest | less then set up your smartd.conf file. The default file automatically scans your system which is inefficient. Read it to get some examples of usage. My file is : smartd.conf: # Sample configuration file for smartd. See man smartd.conf. # Home page is: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net # $Id: smartd.conf,v 1.33 2004/01/13 16:53:06 ballen4705 Exp $ # smartd will re-read the configuration file if it receives a HUP # signal # The file gives a list of devices to monitor using smartd, with one # device per line. Text after a hash (#) is ignored, and you may use # spaces and tabs for white space. You may use '\' to continue lines. /dev/hda -a -m root -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03) -M test /dev/hde -a -m root -o on -S on -s (S/../.././03|L/../../6/05) -M test End of smartd.conf: Then make the smartd service permanent
