ffp 0.5 has the option to enable the SMART monitoring tools.

If you want to set SMART up to email you it will require some further configuration.

I have found the best solution is to use a script file that is called by the smart daemon

#!/ffp/bin/bash
# /ffp/sbin/smartd_mail.sh

SMARTMESSAGE=/ffp/tmp/msg
FROMADDR=email@domain.org

if [ ! -n "${SMART_DEVICETYPE+x}" ]; then
	SMART_DEVICETYPE=marvell
fi

# Save the email message (STDIN) to a file:
cat > $SMARTMESSAGE

# Append the output of smartctl -a to the message:
/ffp/sbin/smartctl -a -d $SMART_DEVICETYPE $SMARTD_DEVICE >> $SMARTMESSAGE
 
# Now email the message to the user at address ADD:
/ffp/bin/mailx -s "$SMARTD_SUBJECT" -r $FROMADDR $SMARTD_ADDRESS < $SMARTMESSAGE

If you have a samsung drive you may need to add '-F samsung2' to smartctl line.

Then you need to modify the /ffp/etc/smartd.conf file

# Comment out DEVICESCAN
#DEVICESCAN

/dev/sda -d marvell -m myEmail@domain.org -M exec /ffp/sbin/smartd_mail.sh -M test
/dev/sdb -d marvell -m myEmail@domain.org -M exec /ffp/sbin/smartd_mail.sh -M test
