This script helps to notify me by e-mail about the condition of the disk. Remember to indicate the disk accordingly – in this case it is “/dev/sda ” and change the e-mail address from “soban@soban.pl ” to your own. Save the script in “/root/checkbadsector.sh “:
#!/bin/bash
date > / root / badsectortest .txt
badblocks / dev / sda - v & >> / root / badsectortest .txt
hoursworkhdd = ` smartctl -- all / dev / sda | grep Power_On_Hours | awk '{print $10}' `
dayworkhdd = ` expr $hoursworkhdd / 24 `
yesworkhdd = ` expr $dayworkhdd / 366 `
echo - e "Hours working hdd:" >> / root / badsectortest .txt
echo - e $hoursworkhdd >> / root / badsectortest .txt
echo - e "Days working hdd:" >> / root / badsectortest .txt
echo - e $dayworkhdd >> / root / badsectortest .txt
echo - e "Years working hdd:" >> / root / badsectortest .txt
echo - e $yesworkhdd >> / root / badsectortest .txt
date >> / root / badsectortest .txt
cat / root / badsectortest .txt | / usr / bin / mail - s "badsector - `date`" soban @ soban .pl
You can also download it from https://soban.pl/bash/checkbadsector.sh :
# cd
# wget https://soban.pl/bash/checkbadsector.sh
Remember to grant permission to perform it:
# chmod +x /root/checkbadsector.sh
On my server I added it once a month so that it would be performed periodically in the crontab:
# crontab -l | grep checkbadsector
30 17 20 * * / root / checkbadsector .sh > / dev / null 2 > & 1

Good luck and I wish you no errors!
