I just discovered this program from a thread in my distro forum and have ru=
n
it on my mythbox, desktop machine and laptop. I run smartctl time to time
but thought I'd try this too. The Health and Performance are what I'm
curious about, whether they are accurate indicators? Example on my myth
machine:

Hard Disk Sentinel for LINUX console 0.03 (c) 2008-2009 info@hdsentinel.com
Start with -r [reportfile] to save data to report, -h for help
