Description-en: graphical hard disk health status notifier
A graphical notifier for smartmontools which attempts to show messages from
the smartd disk monitoring daemon to the user. Currently only for gtk.
.
WARNING: This package is not a replacement for regular backups. It will _try_
to warn the user when smartd sends a disk health warning. But success is not
guaranteed. At best this package is an extra layer of protection.
