NAME
update-smart-drivedb - update smartmontools drive database
SYNOPSIS
update-smart-drivedb
[OPTIONS]
[DESTFILE]
DESCRIPTION
[This man page is generated for the Linux version of smartmontools. It does not contain info specific to other platforms.]
update-smart-drivedb
updates
/var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h
or
DESTFILE
from branches/RELEASE_7_3_DRIVEDB of smartmontools SVN repository.
The tools used for downloading are either
curl(1),
wget(1),
lynx(1),
or
svn(1).
The downloaded file is verified with OpenPGP/GPG key ID 721042C5.
The public key block is included in the script.
The old file is kept if the downloaded file is identical (ignoring
the differences in Id string) otherwise it is moved to
drivedb.h.old.
[NEW EXPERIMENTAL UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB FEATURE]
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 default is
/usr/sbin/smartctl.
- -t [DIR/]TOOL, --tool [DIR/]TOOL
-
Use TOOL for download.
TOOL is one of:
curl wget lynx
svn.
The default is the first one found in PATH.
[NEW EXPERIMENTAL UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB FEATURE]
A DIR could also be specified.
The plain TOOL name must then 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
-
[NEW EXPERIMENTAL UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB FEATURE]
Download from URL.
A valid OpenPGP/GPG signature with '.raw.asc' extension must also
exist unless '--no-verify' is also specified.
- --file FILE
-
[NEW EXPERIMENTAL UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB FEATURE]
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
-
[NEW EXPERIMENTAL UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB FEATURE]
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
-
[NEW EXPERIMENTAL UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB FEATURE]
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
-
[NEW EXPERIMENTAL UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB FEATURE]
Suppress info messages.
- -v, --verbose
-
Verbose output.
- -h, --help
-
Print help text.
