  Description     : monitor harddrives to detect pre-failure conditions

The smartmontools package contains two utility programs (smartctl and smartd) 
to control and monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis 
and Reporting Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.) built into most modern ATA and 
SCSI hard disks.  It is derived from the smartsuite package, and includes 
support for ATA/ATAPI-5 disks.  It should run on any modern Linux system.


Note to C.L. Cheney: I CC'ed you because smartmontools is derived from 
smartsuite whos maintainer you are. You'd probably be the Best Man(tm) for 
also packaging this.

cheers
