SMART monitoring on P4PE w/ Promise 376

[-=_ Antani _=-]

Hi everybody,

I have a system based on a P4PE board. I have a Parallel ATA hard drive
connected to the Promise 376 RAID controller.
The above mentioned disk is developing bad sectors. I am trying to monitor
SMART data for this drive, but I was not able to find any tool capable of
retrieving SMART data from disk connected to the RAID controller.

Do you know of any tool which works through this controller?

Kind regards

Maybe you could use SmartUdm

But I think it's best to disengage the drive temporarily from the RAID
array, connect it to a regular IDE port and use the utility from the
drive manufacturer to check the disk.
You don't like to keep an IDE harddisk that shows bad sectors in a RAID
array anyway!
