1. Script That Shows Smart Values of All Disks'

    Sat 05 October 2013

    Please use this tool on github instead of this ancient script.


    So you have a Linux system with a lot of hard drives. If you want to quickly check on some key SMART values to determine the health of individual disks, you might be interested in this script.

    I wrote a small Python script called 'showsmart' that displays key SMART values for all disks that support SMART. This has been tested on Ubuntu and Debian.

    showsmart

    • REALLOC. = Reallocated Sector Count
    • PENDING = Current Pending Sector
    • CRC ERR. = UDMA CRC ERROR

    This script only requires python and smartctl (smartmontools).

    I hope someone will find it useful.

  2. Script That Shows Relevant Disk Information

    Wed 02 October 2013

    I wrote a small Python script called 'showdisks' that displays relevant information about any physical storage devices supported by hdparm.

    Information such as model and capacity are shown, but also controller and device path.

    showdisks

    This script only requires python and hdparm.

    I hope someone will find it useful.
