There are number of ways to get recent smartmontools on the OSX. However all of them will require to install many additional tools (xcode, etc.) and result may vary. It should be find to have kind of "reference" build available from the sourceforge download. As far as i could see [1] it should be possible to do such cross-build from the Linux env, however i did not tried yet myself.

Correct resolution of the tickets should include:

1. Setup and build smartmontools under osxcross, check if autoconf may handle this [done]
2. Find if it is possible to generate pkg on Linux
3. Find if it possible to do dmg on Linux [done, using mkisofs + dmg]?
4. Find if it is possible to run smartd as a daemon with desktop notifications
5. Make smartctl/smartd universal binaries (32 and 64 bits)
6. If everything works - add result to the SF downloads :)

I believe this is the best project around which to discuss S.M.A.R.T. related issues.

I have several questions I want to discuss in your forum. For example

How does the firmware, drivers and operating system avoid writing to pending sectors? How does software force writing to pending sectors?

Why is there a mismatch between the S.M.A.R.T. pending sector count and the sector error count from ddrescue?

Thanks!
