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 and SCSI hard disks. In many cases,
these utilities will provide advanced warning of disk degradation
and failure.
