===Monitor Disk Health===
 
Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) is built into many ATA-3 and later ATA, IDE and SCSI-3 hard drives. The purpose of SMART is to monitor the reliability of the hard drive and predict drive failures, and to carry out different types of drive self-tests.
 
 
Enable
 
config set smartd service
 
config setprop smartd status enabled
 
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S40smartd
 
 
 
This will log warnings to /var/log/messages, Emails to admin on critical errors would be good.
