Description-en: graphical user interface for smartctl
GSmartControl is a graphical user interface for smartctl, which is a tool for
querying and controlling SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting
Technology) data on modern hard disk drives. It allows you to inspect the
drive's SMART data to determine its health, as well as run various tests on it.
.
Features:
.
* automatically reports and highlights any anomalies;
* allows enabling/disabling Automatic Offline Data Collection;
* allows enabling/disabling SMART itself;
* supports configuration of global and per-drive options for smartctl;
* performs SMART self-tests;
* displays drive IDs, capabilities, attributes, and self-test/error logs;
* can read in smartctl data from a saved file, interpreting it as a read-only
virtual device.
