Script for making remote NAS diagnostics available locally

I haven't installed hdsentinal, so I'll need to take a look at that.

You can get quite a bit of info with smartctl (including stuff that isn't in the log zip), and I was thinking about using that.

This gives you a lot of info on the installed disks:

for i in a b c d e f g h i j k l m n; do smartctl -a -x -l defects /dev/sd${i} | egrep -v "local build|No such device|smartmontools"; done >>smart.log

Though if you want to be more selective on the smart stats you can also do something like

for i in a b c d e f g h i j k l m n; do smartctl -a /dev/sd${i} | egrep -i "Device Model|Serial Number|Reallocated_sec|ATA Er|offline_uncorrect|current_pending_sector|Power_on"; done >>smart.log

tailoring the egrep string to include the specific parameters you want to track.  mdgm suggested this version to me a few years ago now (it is also handy in tech support mode).
