These are SATA drives and except for the one machine that has a 3Ware

I use the tw_cli program to check up on my 3ware stuff.
Hi Jeffrey,
Thanks. I use tw_cli too and I have scripted a check to see if it
degrades but this doesn't help with checking for disk problems before
they happen which SMART should help with. As it happens, smartctl works
with 3Ware SATA drives. It is my other SATA drives that I'm unable to
monitor.

It took me quite a bit of time to figure that one out. I don't
have any automated monitoring set up, but it'd be simple enough to
script. I check on the array every so often and run a verify every few
months to see if it kicks a disk out (it hasn't yet).
