Wie man unter Ubuntu seine SATA-Harddisks ueberwachen kann und E-Mails erhaelt, wenn eine HD ersetzt werden sollte:

  • Pakete installieren
$ sudo apt-get install smartmontools mailx

  • Smartmontools aktivieren ("#" entfernen)
$ sudo vi /etc/default/smartmontools
start_smartd=yes
  • Devicescan deaktivieren ("#" hinzufuegen) und jedes SATA-Device einzeln eintragen (zusaetzlich "-M test" fuer E-Mail-Test) 
$ sudo vi /etc/smartd.conf

#DEVICESCAN -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner
/dev/sda -a -d sat -m me@example.com -M diminishing -M test
/dev/sdb -a -d sat -m me@example.com -M diminishing
/dev/sdc -a -d sat -m me@example.com -M diminishing
/dev/sdd -a -d sat -m me@example.com -M diminishing

  • Exim fuer E-Mail-Versand an externe Hosts aktivieren
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
  • "Internet Site" auswaehlen
  • Smartmontools starten
$ sudo /etc/init.d/smartmontools start

Falls der Dienst nicht starten sollte, /var/log/daemon.log konsultieren. Bei Debian Etch muss man fuer SATA "-d ata" statt "-d sat" verwenden.

  • Testen, ob Mailversand erfolgreich
$ sudo tail /var/log/exim4/mainlog
  • Falls SoftRAID genutzt wird, sollten Fehlermeldungen von mdadm an die selbe Adresse versendet werden
$ sudo vi /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
#MAILADDR root
MAILADDR me@example.com
$ sudo /etc/init.d/mdadm restart
