Good day to all. The situation is the following. There are several stations with configured software RAID 10. Interested in software that can, automatically and / or with the use of scripts, check the surface of hard drives (preferably all at once, and not one by one), check SMART status and the possibility of logging. The OS is used on Windows, Ubuntu and Debian stations, but it is possible to boot any necessary OS via PXE for the duration of the tests.

In Windows, you can scrape the surface with a regular chkdsk.
On Linux, roll up the ZFS file system, it has a built-in scrub, it checks the disks itself regularly.

checking the surface is stopping the OS from the disk and loading it into RAM, it's especially strong not to automatically turn mcdd to help you.
