+== 3.3. S.M.A.R.T and such ==
+
+Disks' SMART can be monitored trough an SCSI generic device.
+
+You need to make sure SCSI generic device driver is loaded (and will be loaded at boot). On Debian based system, simply run:
+{{{
+modprobe sg
+echo sg >> /etc/modules
+}}}
+
+You can now try to run smartctl against one of the scsi generic devices (you will have to figure out by yourself which one to use):
+{{{
+server:~# smartctl -a /dev/sg1
+smartctl version 5.38 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-8 Bruce Allen
+Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/
+
+Device: SEAGATE  ST3600057SS      Version: ES64
+Serial number: 6SL0D4C3
+Device type: disk
+Transport protocol: SAS
+Local Time is: Wed Feb 22 23:57:28 2012 CET
+Device supports SMART and is Enabled
+Temperature Warning Disabled or Not Supported
+SMART Health Status: OK
+
+Current Drive Temperature:     32 C
+Drive Trip Temperature:        68 C
+
+[...]
+}}}
+
+You can now edit '''/etc/smartd.conf''' and comment the "DEVICESCAN" line and add specific configuration for each drive, like the example below:
+{{{
+# Monitor LSI's disk SMART through SCSI generic
+/dev/sg1 -d removable -a -s L/../../3/02
+/dev/sg2 -d removable -a -s L/../../3/03
+}}}
+
+Restart smartd and check syslog...
+{{{

+Feb 23 00:00:00 server smartd[29653]: Device: /dev/sg1, is SMART capable. Adding to "monitor" list.
+Feb 23 00:00:00 server smartd[29653]: Device: /dev/sg2, opened
+Feb 23 00:00:01 server smartd[29653]: Device: /dev/sg2, is SMART capable. Adding to "monitor" list.
