Command-Line Invocation and Application Notes
IDE disk drives, whether they use serial ATA (SATA) or parallel ATA (PATA or just ATA) interfaces, offer an abundance of diagnostic and reporting capability. They are part of the SMART command set which is supported in all but the earliest generation of ATA disk drives. The error logging contains volatile and non-volatile information and you can somewhat equate that to the log page reporting found in SCSI family disk drives.
Usage:
smartmon-ux -O [options] [device_list]
Sample Output:
[root@morph smartmon]# ./smartmon-ux -O

Program Ended.
Analysis: Note that this command was issued on a system that had two SCSI disks and an ATA disk. The ATA disk at /dev/hda reported no errors, and the two SCSI Seagate disks ignored the command entirely since the SMART Error Log Reporting is a feature that is unique to SATA and PATA disks.

Note: All ATA registers represented by single HEX byte. The timestamp represents the elapsed
time in seconds since previous power=on. This wraps back to zero approximately every 50 days because that
represents 2 ^ 32 milliseconds. Only the last 5 errors are retained by the disk drive per ANSI specification.

Analysis: Both of these drives have been used in a system for a significantly longer time, and you see they have all recorded errors. In the case of the Maxtor disk, you will see that there are also extended error bytes which are vendor-unique.
Notes:
| • | The -O option may be added to the command-line with other options. If the -O option is used, however, the program will automatically terminate after reporting all relevant information. The program will not launch and run in the background after discovering the devices. |
| • | The -O option will only report information if the selected device is capable of reporting such information. Disks that do not support the SMART Report Error Log will ignore the command. |
| • | The -O option reports really advanced stuff. Many of the "errors" it reports may be perfectly normal. SANtools does not interpret this information for you, but your hardware and/or disk drive vendor or supplier should be able to analyze the information for you, provided you are having some sort of problem. If you are a storage engineer, however, you will find this feature invaluable. |
| • | This function works with SPARC Solaris, Windows family operating system, LINUX, and OS X. |
