And periodic self-test triggering & check is most important feature of smartd, IMHO. Modern HDDs are liers in SMART. And only regular self-test discover real errors on surfaces in my experience. So, tool without support for HDD self-tests is of little usage for appliances, IMHO. -- // Lev Serebryakov
