[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#468158: hal should monitor S.M.A.R.T. parameters for disk health

[Erich Schubert]

Package: hal
Version: 0.5.10-5
Severity: wishlist

On harddisks that have SMART capabilities, hal should monitor this data.
This would allow e.g. a Gnome utility application to easily warn the
user if one of his harddisks is dying.
