Hi

How to configure smartmontools to give audible warnings from onboard system speaker when hdd is about to fail or S.M.A.R.T. is logging errors ?

OS : Debian 10 buster

All other forums only discuss how to send email when something is wrong... Im not interested in emails...Server is at home and so am i... Audible warning will draw my attention must faster.

Is there any chance of implementing such feature ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx

hello

my first try :

smartctl -a /dev/sda
smartctl 6.6 2017-11-05 r4594 [armv7l-linux-4.19.97-v7l+] (local build)
Copyright (C) 2002-17, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org
/dev/sda: Unknown USB bridge [0x0bc2:0x3343 (0x100)]
Please specify device type with the -d option.
Use smartctl -h to get a usage summary

looking at supported drives, my second try:

sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda -d sat
smartctl 6.6 2017-11-05 r4594 [armv7l-linux-4.19.97-v7l+] (local build)

Read Device Identity failed: scsi error unsupported field in scsi command
A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options.

then third:

sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda -d sat -T permissive
smartctl 6.6 2017-11-05 r4594 [armv7l-linux-4.19.97-v7l+] (local build)

as the device id was not in the ​http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids i added it and it is now pending validation i don't know much more than what is listed on amazon : ​https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-STGY8000400-Disque-externe-bureau/dp/B07DQBFQ2D (or ​https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CQJBSQL/ as i see no difference)

i am willing to run any command that could help (but "format" or anything that imply writing as the drive is in use)

Just doing the needful...
