desertwitch/smartdmt

smartdmt is a small utility that provides a simple terminal user interface (TUI) for inspecting your connected block devices SMART information. It was developed primarily as a companion application to ShredOS, so that such information can be observed during disk wiping. However, the utility also functions as a standalone program.

The TUI acts as a visual wrapper, calling lsblk and smartctl under the hood to provide a side-by-side view of all block devices and their SMART information.

To build from source, a Makefile is included with the project's source code. Running make all will compile the application and pull in any necessary dependencies. make check runs the test suite and static analysis tools.

For convenience, precompiled static binaries for common architectures are released through GitHub. These can be installed into /usr/bin/ or respective system locations; ensure they are executable by running chmod +x before use.

All builds from source are designed to generate reproducible builds, meaning that they should compile as byte-identical to the respective released binaries and also have the exact same checksums upon integrity verification.

• Go version 1.24.2 or higher

• lsblk (as part of util-linux package)
• smartctl (as part of smartmontools package)
