Gsmartcontrol smart monitor
Well If you ever wondered about your hard drive health, this tool will give you a wealth of information about your hard drive.
Would be good to have in your toolbox, or if your buying a used PC

Some users might need libgio, below is the pet for it

Yes, I posted about it here.
Notice I found pets for the missing dependencies, but there were problems when installing them.

Is there a way I can get the exact health of the drive rather than just a passed? On winXP I use a program called hdd health that shows exaclty how much life the drive has left. I've been trying to find a similiar tool for linux. I tried hdd health in wine and it didn't seem to work properly.

I find it hard to believe that such a thing actually works. I had a drive recently die without any warning or indication. However, another drive started reporting imminent failure almost four years ago. Guess what? That one is still going.AF Branden wrote:Is there a way I can get the exact health of the drive rather than just a passed?

I'm cynical about S.M.A.R.T. technology for similar reasons. I have a drive that has been announcing it was about to fail for several years, yet runs flawlessly. I finally turned off SMART support for that drive in the BIOS to shut it up and avoid the delays imposed when I booted.lapis wrote:I find it hard to believe that such a thing actually works.

The sort of thing the OP talks about is probably using a Mean Time Between Failure estimate for the drive to serve as the baseline against which it calculates. It's a rule-of-thumb measure, and might be useful as an indicator about when I should start thinking about replacing the drive, but it's not something I'd take as any sort of absolute.

ttuuxxx,
I just wanted to confirm that this system utility works on Wary 5.2.2 with the libgio pet installed also. It's also worth noting that the smart technology for hard drives has been in place for quite some time because it works on my 1999 Pentium 3 desktop.

It doesnt work in precise 5.7.1
And with libgio, it is worse, even geany doesnt work anymore.
Code: Select all
# gsmartcontrol
<error> [app] hz::data_file_find(): Data file "icon_hdd.png" not found.
<error> [app] hz::data_file_find(): Data file "icon_cddvd.png" not found.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Gtk::IconThemeError'
Aborted
Here are the gio lib files from Carolina, https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/260 ... gio.tar.gzlinuxcbon wrote:It doesnt work in precise 5.7.1And with libgio, it is worse, even geany doesnt work anymore.Code: Select all

just extract and copy to the appropriate location, that may work, if not you will need to get the original files from your main sfs and replace those that were changed, was most likely only the symlinks that were changed, the smartmontools-5.42-i486.pet shouldn't of caused any problems as it only contains binaries no lib files
