To read smart status of hard disks attached to a 3ware raid controller, the <code>-d 3ware,N</code> flag needs to be passed, where N is the disk number. An example from gourd: <code>smartctl -a -d 3ware,5 /dev/twe0</code>

/dev/twe0 indicates the first 3ware 6/7/8000-series controller.

General Information

Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology, or S.M.A.R.T in linux is enabled on some systems, so that we can monitor things like drive health and be able to replace a drive properly without lossing valuable data.

Smartd is a linux daemon that uses the SMART protocol to analyze hard drives.
