Sods law isn’t it… You spend half an hour or so prodding and persuading SMART to monitor the hard disks in all your critical machines, only to find that the machine with the oldest (and thus most likely to die) hard drive doesn’t support SMART. Thankfully it’s just the router, which can be replaced at short notice. They’ve all been enabled with full attribute logging and autosave, online collection, daily and weekly testing. This should hopefully keep an eye on the ever increasing number of disks used within my machines. I’ve also enabled it on Lovelace, our shared server, for added security.
In other news, I’m just back from a weeks holiday on the continent. Mostly spent in Strasbourg, but we also managed to squeeze in a visit to Dave in Utrecht. Photos and a writeup will be up shortly (along with a Barcelona writeup too, I guess 🙂
