However, these utilities don't really do anything useful as far as I can tell, they're more starting points. I'm guessing the gem has modepages that can be decoded. I'd like to be able to detect when a disk goes bad, or a fan, etc, and hook this up to a notification. The smartmontools package connects to the raid controller (ASR), but the raid controller hides all the drives, so that doesn't really help. The asr-utils don't work anymore, so i can't see my drive status that way, so i'm looking @ the ses part. --don
