S.M.A.R.T. 是 Self – Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (硬碟自我監測、分析及報告技術) 的縮寫，可以在硬碟發生故障之前，先提出警訊，可以提早因應。
在 Linux 下只要安裝 smartmontools 套件即可
# rpm -qf /usr/sbin/smartctl
smartmontools-5.42-2.el5
啟動 smartd 服務
# chkconfig –level 3 smartd on
# chkconfig –list | grep smartd
smartd 0:關閉 1:關閉 2:關閉 3:開啟 4:關閉 5:關閉 6:關閉
[@more@]檢查硬碟是否有開啟 smart 功能
# smartctl -i /dev/sda
