GSmartControl Description

Open source hard disk drive health inspection tool GSmartControl is a graphical user interface for smartctl (from Smartmontools package), which is a tool for querying and controlling SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) data on modern hard disk drives. GSmartControl allows you to inspect the drive's SMART data to determine its health, as well as run various tests on it.The following operating systems are supported: Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Windows (XP or higher), Solaris, DragonFlyBSD, QNX. Here are some key features of "GSmartControl": · Automatically report and hilight any abnormal SMART information. · Ability to enable / disable SMART. · Ability to enable / disable Automatic Offline Data Collection - A short · self-check that the drive will perform automatically every four hours with no impact on performance. · Ability to set global and per-drive options for smartctl. · Display drive identity, capabilities, attributes, error and self-test logs. · Perform SMART self-tests. · Ability to load smartctl output as a "virtual" device, which acts just like a real (read-only) device. · Works on most smartctl-supported operating systems. · Extensive help information. What's New in This Release: · GSmartControl now uses XDG config directory for per-user configuration on UNIX and CSIDL_PROFILE directory on Windows. Existing configuration is migrated automatically. · The names are shown correctly for unsupported devices even with the latest smartctl snapshots now. · Smartctl SVN revision is shown (if available). · The progress bars update properly when parallel tests are run. · Windows: GSmartControl should be able to operate on any valid filesystem path (not just locale-representable ones). · Windows: GSmartControl is now officially compilable on x86_64 via mingw64. · Fixed compilation under very old gtkmm/libglademm, and with gcc 4.4. · Fixed parsing of multiple error types in SMART error log. · Added minor features and fixed miscellaneous bugs.
