Check Linux HDD using smartmontools

Last updated on April 1st, 2012 at 12:58 am

I’m using CentOS, and I would like to check any READ / WRITE RAW error in my hard disk or not. I like to check it often to prevent any data lost.
to Install,

[root@server src]# yum install smartmontools

[adrotate banner=”2″]
If run, using smartctl

[adrotate banner=”1″]

[root@server src]# smartctl –all /dev/sdb1
