How can I generate HDD reports of the type shown in this post?Without downloading all logs within Frontview. Tried that and got a 340 MB large file with all kinds of stuff. I just want to view my HDDs health in as good detail as possible.And what are those reports called?

In Frontview, go to Status>Health then click on the Smart+ button to view the status of each drive.

My advice is to enable your email alerts (System>Alerts) and on System>Alerts>Settings only select the ones that are concerned with HDD (if you only want status of the HDD) .

So I would be very happy if anyone who knows the SSH commands to generate those reports is willing to share them here. :D

A quick one to get current information is this one:for i in {a..z}; do smartctl -a /dev/sd${i} | egrep -i "Device Model|Serial Number|Reallocated_sec|ATA Er|offline_uncorrect|current_pending_sector|Power_on";done It won't go through history though, just show current status of each disk. Not sure if it's quite what you're looking for?edit: sent you a pm on how to generate the raw data of the smart_history.log

Btw the one should in the post linked to by the opening post in this thread is for OS6 not for your Duo.

You can generate that table (OS6 only) using

# sqlite3 -header -column -cmd '.width 20 20' /var/readynasd/smart.sq3 'select *,datetime(timestamp, "unixepoch") as time from smart_history;'

The nice thing about the smart history table is that it shows the history of key changes to SMART error counts.

On older models such as yours we have some disk_smart logs under /var/log/frontview. You can get some SMART history by comparing those logs.

Thanks mdgm!
Yes, there are a lot of logs in /var/log/frontview. In addition to disk_smart_ there are also ecounter_and smart_errors and more logs.
