UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB(8) SMART Monitoring Tools UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB(8) NAME update-smart-drivedb - update smartmontools drive database SYNOPSIS update-smart-drivedb [OPTIONS] [DESTFILE] DESCRIPTION [This man page is generated for the FreeBSD version of smartmontools. It does not contain info specific to other platforms.] update-smart-drivedb updates /usr/local/share/smartmontools/drivedb.h or DESTFILE from branches/RELEASE_7_5_DRIVEDB of smartmontools SVN repository. The tools used for downloading are either curl(1), wget(1), lynx(1), fetch(1) [FreeBSD only], or svn(1). The downloaded file is verified with OpenPGP/GPG key ID 721042C5. The pub- lic key block is included in the script. The old file is kept if the downloaded file is identical (ignoring the dif- ferences in Id string) otherwise it is moved to drivedb.h.old. The old file is also kept if the downloaded file reports an older version on the same branch. This could be overridden with the '--force' option. If the branch version differs, the file is always updated. OPTIONS -s SMARTCTL, --smartctl SMARTCTL Use the smartctl(8) executable at path SMARTCTL for drive database syntax check. The form '-s -' disables the syntax check. The de- fault is /usr/local/sbin/smartctl. -t [DIR/]TOOL, --tool [DIR/]TOOL Use TOOL for download. TOOL is one of: curl wget lynx fetch svn. The default is the first one found in PATH. If a DIR is also speci- fied, the plain TOOL name must begin with any of the above names. -u LOCATION, --url-of LOCATION Use URL of LOCATION for download. LOCATION is one of: github (GitHub mirror of SVN repository), sf (Sourceforge code browser), svn (SVN repository), svni (SVN repository via HTTP instead of HTTPS), trac (Trac code browser). The default is svn. --url URL Download from URL. A valid OpenPGP/GPG signature with '.raw.asc' extension must also exist unless '--no-verify' is also specified. --file FILE Copy from local FILE. A valid OpenPGP/GPG signature 'FILE.raw.asc' must also exist unless '--no-verify' is also specified. --trunk Download from SVN trunk. This requires '--no-verify' because the trunk versions are not signed. --branch X.Y Download from branches/RELEASE_X_Y_DRIVEDB. This also selects the OpenPGP/GPG key for older branches (5.40 to 6.6: Key ID DFD22559). --cacert FILE Use CA certificates from FILE to verify the peer. --capath DIR Use CA certificate files from DIR to verify the peer. --insecure Don't abort download if certificate verification fails. This option is also required if a HTTP URL is selected with '-u' option. --no-verify Don't verify signature with GnuPG. --force Allow downgrades. By default, the database is not replaced with an older version of the same branch. --export-key Print the OpenPGP/GPG public key block. --dryrun Print download commands only. -q, --quiet Suppress info messages. -v, --verbose Verbose output. -h, --help Print help text. EXAMPLES Regular update: # update-smart-drivedb /usr/local/share/smartmontools/drivedb.h 7.2/5225 updated to 7.2/5237 Revert to previous version: # update-smart-drivedb --force \ --file /usr/local/share/smartmontools/drivedb.h.old /usr/local/share/smartmontools/drivedb.h 7.2/5237 downgraded to 7.2/5225 Download the database from SVN trunk to current directory: $ update-smart-drivedb --trunk --no-verify -s - -u trac drivedb-trunk.h drivedb-trunk.h 7.3/5254 newly installed (NOT VERIFIED) EXIT STATUS The exit status is 0 if the database has been successfully updated or is already up to date. If an error occurs the exit status is 1. FILES /usr/local/sbin/update-smart-drivedb full path of this script. /usr/local/sbin/smartctl used to check syntax of new drive database. /usr/local/share/smartmontools/drivedb.h current drive database. /usr/local/share/smartmontools/drivedb.h.raw current drive database with unexpanded SVN Id string. /usr/local/share/smartmontools/drivedb.h.raw.asc signature file. /usr/local/share/smartmontools/drivedb.h.*old* previous files. /usr/local/share/smartmontools/drivedb.h.*error* new files if rejected due to errors. /usr/local/share/smartmontools/drivedb.h.lastcheck empty file created if downloaded file was identical.
