Almost all modern disk are S.M.A.R.T capable. What this means is that various information about the disk, mostly relating to its health can be monitored. This includes things like sector errors. If smartd is running root will get E-Mail if/when something (however minor) happens to the disk.
As smartd isn't running in the default Centos configuration, where does palimpsest get its information? Is it a self-contained program that doesn't require smartd or is something else happening behind the scenes?
