[smartmontools-support] -W option not sending emails, and general debugging

[Shakil Shaikh]

Hi,

1) I am using the -W option as so in my smartd.conf:

                -W 0,0,20 \

As my disk is reporting a temp of 30+, I would expect and email to be sent. But I do not see it. Is there a reason why? Test emails are being sent on daemon restart, but nothing for temps (apart from once, except I don't know why). Is this a state issue? If so, how can I reset emails just to get tests?

2) For my SSDs, the temps appear to be reported in a different attribute (190). How do I use -W for these (as the man page suggests it only uses 194)?

3) Although I have successfully received test emails, how do I know that my config is correct? Ie can I "fake" a smart failure somehow to see how a real warning email would look like?

Thank you

Shak
