Disks monitoring with S.M.A.R.T

1st Official Post

    Hello,


    I know this topic was discussed many times, but the truth is my disks are still not working with S.M.A.R.T monitoring :(


    So I'd like to clarify a couple of questions.


    1. Is it expected that S.M.A.R.T monitoring with OMV works out of the box (e.g. via OMV GUI)?

    2. What are the recommended steps to setup S.M.A.R.T monitoring with OMV? (via GUI and/or CLI)

    3. I have one Seagate 5TB disk and one new SSD JMicron (SPCC Solid State Disk) 4TB disk. I believe they do support S.M.A.R.T, but how do I check if this is true?

    Thx

    Yes, but the functionality fully relies on smartmontools.


    In OMV7 SMART only works if smartmontools knows how to handle your disks. This is done by the smartmontools device database. If your devices need special parameters, e.g. -d sat, and your device is not listed in the database, then SMART monitoring and all smartmontools userland apps will not work. You can workaround the issue by filing a custom local database. Check the following links:


    Are these USB drives? If so this page:


    Getting SMART information from a Seagate Expansion Portable drive
    A couple of days ago, I bought myself a 5TB Seagate Expansion Portable drive. This is an 2.5″ external spinning hard disk that connects over USB. In a review…

    Helped me get two Seagate 5 TB USB drives return SMART data.

    Inwin MS04 case with 315 W PSU

    ASRock B660M-ITX board

    Two port PCI-E SATA card

    16GB Kingston DDR4

    Intel 12th gen i5 12400

    Crucial M.2 1 TB OS drive

    4x4TB WD Red NAS drives + 1x4TB + 1x5TB Seagate drives - MergerFS pool

    Seagate 5TB USB drives - SnapRAID parity x 2

    I got this solved by adding a GRUB entry - no more. All the info is on that page.

    Seagate 5TB USB drives - SnapRAID parity x 2

    I added this line to

    /etc/default/grub


    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="usb_storage.quirks=0bc2:2037:u,0bc2:ab71:u"


    Note that 0bc2:2037 and 0bc2:ab71 are specific to your USB drives. this is explained on the page linked to above.


    Then run

    # update-grub
