AMD Raid SMART Tests Ubuntu Server

Question

I have an AMD SB with Raid 1 set up through that. I installed Ubuntu Server with no problems. However I know through windows one can set up SMART Tests with AMD's software. Is there a way to run SMART tests on a recurring schedule in Ubuntu and have it email failures?

Answer 1

Alright I found that smartmontools works even with hardware raid.
