== Smartmontools + Blat ==
You can use [http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Smartmontools] to monitor your hard drive's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T. SMART] status and it will also '''help''' to predict disk failures. I like to use [http://www.blat.net/ Blat] for sending any error messages to my email.
'''NOTE:'''There is currently no way besides checking the size of the files, to see via WPKG if smartmontools is istalled or not. I know it will be coming soon, but I don't know when.
Download smartmontools from, just select the newest version:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/smartmontools/files/
Save smartmontools into %SOFTWARE%\smartmontools\
Download blat from, just select the newest version:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/blat/files/
Save blat into %SOFTWARE%\smartmontools\
Edit smartd.conf and the following line, and change to fit your email address in the configuration file.
smartd.conf contents:
<pre>
# Sample configuration file for smartd. See man smartd.conf.
DEVICESCAN -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././12|L/../../1/03) -m your@email.address
