GSmartControl(1) User Commands GSmartControl(1) NAME
GSmartControl - Hard disk drive health inspection tool SYNOPSIS
gsmartcontrol [OPTIONS] gsmartcontrol-root [<desktop> [OPTIONS]] DESCRIPTION
GSmartControl is a graphical user interface for smartctl (from smartmontools), which is a tool for querying and controlling SMART (Self- Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) data on modern hard disk drives. It allows you to inspect the drive's SMART data to deter- mine its health, as well as run various tests on it. This manual page documents briefly the gsmartcontrol and gsmartcontrol-root commands. gsmartcontrol-root command launches gsmartcontrol with administrative privileges. The desktop argument specifies which desktop is currently running, for automatic selection of native su mechanism. Valid values for desktop are auto, kde, gnome, other. OPTIONS
Help Options: -?, --help Show help options --help-all Show all help options --help-gtk Show GTK+ options --help-debug Show logging options Application Options: -l, --no-locale Disable locale -V, --version Display version information --no-scan Don't scan devices on startup --no-hide-tabs Don't hide non-identity tabs when SMART is disabled. Useful for debugging. --add-virtual Load smartctl data from file, creating a virtual drive --add-device Add this device to device list. Useful with --no-scan to list certain drives only. --display=DISPLAY X display to use -v, --verbose Enable verbose logging; same as --verbosity-level 5 -q, --quiet Disable logging; same as --verbosity-level 0 -b, --verbosity-level Set verbosity level [0-5] COPYRIGHT

IDA(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual IDA(4) NAME
ida -- Compaq Intelligent Drive Array Controllers SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device scbus device ida Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): ida_load="YES" DESCRIPTION
The Compaq Intelligent Drive Array (IDA) technology is used to distribute data across an array of hard drives. It unites these hard drives into one or more high-performance logical drives. The drive array is managed by an array controller. These controllers have the ability to provide fault tolerance for the connected drives and optionally provide write cache for the logical drives. It is also possible for an application to access the SCSI bus subsystem directly by using the pass-through interface. HARDWARE
The following controllers are supported by the ida driver: o Compaq SMART Array 221 o Compaq Integrated SMART Array Controller o Compaq SMART Array 4200 o Compaq SMART Array 4250ES o Compaq SMART 3200 Controller o Compaq SMART 3100ES Controller o Compaq SMART-2/DH Controller o Compaq SMART-2/SL Controller o Compaq SMART-2/P Controller o Compaq SMART-2/E Controller o Compaq SMART Controller IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
Extreme caution should be exercised when using the pass-through interface. It is possible to interfere with normal system I/O and cause hangs if pass-through is used to an active device. Pass-through should only be used to a device that is otherwise quiescent. SEE ALSO
