swygue-smartd

Installs and configures smartd with a notification script for emailing SMART disk errors.

About the notification

DEVICESCAN -a -o on -S on -n standby,q -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03) -W 4,35,40 -m <email> -M exec /usr/local/bin/smartdnotify

This does:

• A short test every day from 2 a.m..
• A long test every Saturday at 3 a.m..

Then sends an email when SMART detects an error.

This role was tested on Fedora 27 only.
