The ideal should be to use the SmartTools utilities, but, if I'm right, there're problems with SATA support.
smartctl on CentOS >= 4.3, supports SATA just fine.
Sounds good. I'll give it a try.
I tried smartctl and it ran fine, but found no errors (on the short test).
FYI - I had to specify the ata device type to make it work.
smartctl -d ata -t short /dev/sda
I was also able to get the smartd service running by adding '-d ata' to both lines in the /etc/smartd.conf file.
Everything seems to be running normally now. Smartd is configured to send me email on problems now, so I'll keep an eye on it and see what happens.
