Topic

Updated smartmontools packages that fix multiple bugs and add various
enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The smartmontools packages contain the smartctl and the smartd utilities to
control and monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and
Reporting Technology System (SMART) built into most modern ATA and SCSI hard
disks. In many cases, these utilities will provide advanced warning of disk
degradation and failure.

The smartmontools packages have been upgraded to version 5.42, which provides a
number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. This update also
features improved support of SATA disks on 3ware 9750 RAID controllers, improved
support of SSD devices, and a much larger database of supported devices.
(BZ#714123)

This update also fixes the following bugs:

  • Prior to this update, the smartd utility failed to handle multiple /dev/sgX

devices, which were provided by the mptsas controller. As a consequence, the
devices were not SMART self-check capable. This update modifies the underlying
code so that smartd can now handle multiple /dev/sgX devices. Now, all devices
pass the SMART self-check. (BZ#706782)

In addition, this update adds the following enhancement:

  • This update adds improved MegaRAID support to the smartmontools packages for

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. (BZ#519261)

All users of smartmontools are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
