smartmontools contains utility programs (smartctl, smartd) to control/monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.) built into most modern ATA and SCSI disks. It is derived from smartsuite.

The smartmontools package contains two utility programs (smartctl and smartd) to control and monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (SMART) built into most modern ATA/SATA, SCSI/SAS and NVMe disks. In many cases, these utilities will provide advanced warning of disk degradation and failure. Smartmontools was originally derived from the Linux ​smartsuite package and actually supports ATA/SATA, SCSI/SAS and NVMe disks and also SCSI/SAS tape devices. It should run on any modern Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin (macOS), Solaris, Windows, Cygwin, OS/2, eComStation or QNX system. Smartmontools can also be run from one of many different Live CDs/DVDs.

Release Notes
  • CI and release builds are now reproducible if same SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, build recipes and toolchains are used.
  • smartctl -j -A: New JSON value 'endurance_used' (ATA/SCSI/NVMe).
  • smartctl -j -A: New JSON value 'spare_available' (ATA/NVMe).
  • smartctl -j -i: Re-added the JSON value 'model_name' also for SCSI devices (regression).

  • smartd: No longer logs invalid "old test ... not run" messages if staggered self-tests are used.
  • smartd.conf -l selftest[sts] -s ...: NVMe self-test support.
  • smartd.conf -H MASK: Ability to ignore specific bits of NVMe SMART/Health value 'Critical Warning'.
  • smartd.conf -p: Checks NVMe SMART/Health value 'Available Spare'.
  • smartd.conf -u [-f]: Checks NVMe SMART/Health values 'Percentage Used' and 'Media and Data Integrity Errors'.
  • smartd.conf -W ...: No longer includes individual sensors in NVMe temperature check as some devices report other values there.
  • ATA: Device type -d jmb39x-q2,N for another JMB39x protocol variant used by QNAP-TR002 NAS devices.
  • SCSI: Fixed range checks of mode page offset and VPD inquiry.
  • SCSI: Fixed buffer overflow parsing of VPD page.
  • SCSI: Fixed handling of multiple designators in VPD page.
  • USB/NVMe: -d sntjmicron no longer triggers USB resets on queries of the self-test log.
  • USB/NVMe: -d sntasmedia now supports log pages > 512 bytes.
  • USB/NVMe/SAT: New experimental NVMe/SAT autodetection options -d snt*/sat.
  • Fixed segfault on missing option argument on systems using musl libc.
  • HDD, SSD and USB additions to drive database.
  • automake < 1.13 are no longer supported.
  • Custom make rules are now silenced if make V=0 is used.
  • Enhanced makefile targets dist-* to create reproducible source tarballs if SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set.
  • The makefile no longer uses GNU make specific syntax elements (exception: reproducible builds for macOS).
  • Dropped support for platforms without sigaction().
  • configure: Now also detects MidnightBSD.
  • configure: Dropped option --with-signal-func.
  • configure: Default for --with-nvme-devicescan is now 'yes' also on NetBSD.
  • Version information is now also set if build from GH R/O mirror.
  • Linux: smartd.service now avoids a warning about an unset environment variable.
  • Linux: Dropped autodetection of deprecated device type -d marvell.
  • macOS: Support for reproducible builds of the DMG image.
  • OpenBSD: NVMe support.
  • Windows: Increased WMI timeout.
  • Windows: Support for reproducible builds of the installer.
  • Windows: Uninstaller is no longer damaged if the installer is signed.
  • Windows update-smartd-drivedb.ps1: Fixed call of gpg.exe if it appears more than once in the PATH.
  • Windows update-smartd-drivedb.ps1 -Verbose: Now also prints the download command.
