update-smart-drivedb [
OPTIONS] [
DESTFILE]
[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.
- -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.
