# disktest

script for testing incoming sata/sas disks

## Instructions

must be run as root

`-y`  Will not prompt before erasing data\

\

`-a`  all tests, `-slbw` (`z` will be added when complete)\

`-s`  short S.M.A.R.T test `smartctl -t short`\

`-l`  long S.M.A.R.T test `smartctl -t long`\

`-b`  `badblocks` 4 passes of write/read\

`-w`  write speed test\

`-z`  `.zfs` test (not yet implemented)\

\

`-u`  unattended mode (not yet implemented)\

`-m`  Sends email 0 = no emails, 1 (default) = email status updates, 2 = email full log each time\

`-e`  Sets email address, default `root`\

`-f`  Formats disk after testing\

`-d`  Sets disk `sdxx`

full command, run all tests, erase data, and format: `sudo /disktest.sh -ayf -d sdxx`

### Dependencies

  * `smartctl` (smartmontools)

  * `badblocks` (e2fsprogs)     .only applies to badblocks test

  * `zfs`                       .only applies to zfs test

  * `f3`                        .only applies to zfs test

  * `parted`                    .only applies to zfs test or formatting

### Other Notes

designed for sata/sas disks only, ATA info reporting is not enabled

## Testing Sequence (checks indicate sections with completed programing)

- [x] smart test - Short

- [x] smart test - Long

- [x] badblocks - standard 4 pass r/w

- [x] test/report disk r/w speed

- [ ] zfs r/w test under compression

  - [ ] create single disk zfs pool w/ compression

  - [ ] run standard single pass r/w test

  - [ ] destroy zfs pool

- [ ] run short/long smart test again at end?

  - [ ] create flag for this?

## Possible Future Development

- [x] insert time stamps in log

- [ ] check for dependencies (based on selected flags) before running

- [ ] update "**skipping" and "**starting" inserts to make sure they log correctly

- [x] confirm if r/w speed test is destructive

  - [ ] optional: add r/w test for when disk is in use?

- [ ] add confirmation messages at beginning of script

  - [ ] confirm device name and

  - [x] if badblocks/zfs is selected, confirm data erasure

- [ ] set up to run program in background

- [ ] allow input of a list of multiple disks

- [ ] flags for automatic enable/disable of individual tests

  - [ ] -u flag for run in unattended mode (background/disown)

  - [ ] -z flag for zfs

- [ ] add test to check for disks reporting fake size (f3?)

- [ ] have program check for dependencies before running
