Controls and monitors storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, 
Analysis and Reporting Technology System (SMART) built into most
modern ATA and SCSI hard disks. In many cases, these utilities 
will provide advanced warning of disk degradation and failure.

For now i386 only (Some issues noticed on macppc)

Soekris users with internal hdd will like this port.

The smartmontools package contains two utility programs (smartctl and
smartd) to control and monitor storage systems using the
Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (SMART) built
into most modern ATA and SCSI hard disks. In many cases, these
utilities will provide advanced warning of disk degradation and failure.
