Editor to share with you how to use Smartmontools under Linux, I believe most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let's go to know it!

Smartmontools, an open source disk detection and control tool, happens to be used today when a server wants to check the power-up time of the server's hard disk, so record the installation and simple application of this tool. After all, the brain is not very easy to use when you are old. Slightly messy users will be useful when choosing a server to check the health of the hard drive and related parameters.

Installation under Ubuntu:

Sudo apt-get install smartmontools1

Smartctl command format

Smartctl [options] device1

Common options:

-h: display help information-V: display version information-I: display device identity information (SN manufacturer, etc.)-a: display device full SMART information-x: display device details-H: view hard drive health status 123456

Example:

The above results are run on a virtual machine, which does not support SMART technology. But we still got the firmware version and SN123456789101112131415161718.

Another machine, which supports SMART technology, turns on SMART messages:
