This is interesting to hear as I have been using smartmontools on my
Supermicro LSI 1068E controller with the target firmware for 2 years
now on CentOS 5. I have 3 RAID 1 arrays across 2 drives, a RAID 5
drive across 3 drives, and a RAID 0 across 2 drives.
I routinely will query smartctrl with something like
for i in a b c d e f; do smartctl -a /dev/sd$i | grep Reallocated; done
or
for i in a b c d e f; do smartctl -a /dev/sd$i | grep Temperature; done
Here are the system details
cat /proc/mdstat
