DSM 4 and smartctl

[congo]

hello world,

after upgrading to DSM4.0 on DS210j running 2xWD1003FBYX (WD 1GB RE4), i cant get sober output from smartctl, which disappoints me, since i monitor not only the synology devices i connect, but also their disks.

This command worked fine on DSM 3.1:

Code: Select all

$  /usr/syno/bin/smartctl -a /dev/hdb
smartctl 5.42 2011-10-20 r3458 [armv5tel-linux-2.6.32.12] (local build)

Segmentation fault (core dumped)


however, as you can see it now outputs segfault, its the same when using /dev/sdb.

In the older synology days, i prefixed with -d like so:

Code: Select all

 $  /usr/syno/bin/smartctl -d marvell -a /dev/sda
smartctl 5.42 2011-10-20 r3458 [armv5tel-linux-2.6.32.12] (local build)

Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed: Unknown error

A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options.

But as you can see, this too dont reveal any usefull data.

From the data (regardsless of the smartctl options) i want to fetch stuff like disk temperature, or any other SMART attribute, but catching this on stdout for treatment in perl og shell.


Does anyone have a clue or experience on extracting SMART details from commandline under DSM4?
(it is possible, since they do it inside the DSM gui under hdd management/SMART info).

geez - that must have been like the only thingy i didnt try.

this worked:

Code: Select all

/usr/syno/bin/smartctl -d ata -a /dev/sda

.


I can only wonder why they seem to change the implementation to drastic by every new DSM release...
thanks !

Good that you solved your original problem, but that "segmentation fault" doesn't look good at all.
DSM 4 seems to have still too many rough edges for my taste...

Hi,
@maxxfi
whats the problem? It works as designed.

Code: Select all

IsMvSocDriver() {
...
Chip=`/bin/cat /sys/block/$1/device/../../scsi*/proc_name`
if [ "x$Chip" = "xmvSata" ]; then
   return 1
fi
return 0
...
IsMvSocDriver $D
         ret=$?
         if [ $ret -eq 0 ]; then
            /usr/syno/bin/smartctl -a -d ata /dev/$D > /var/log/smart_$D.result
         elif [ $ret -eq 1 ]; then
            /usr/syno/bin/smartctl -a -d marvell /dev/$D > /var/log/smart_$D.result
         fi
