If you have problems or need support, first look at the page with answers to frequently asked questions.
If you don't find an answer there, the next step is, to
search the support mailing list archives.
Note that from time to time SourceForge has mailing list problems and you'll get a message telling you that 'Either your mailing list name was misspelled or your mailing list has not been archived yet. If this list has just been created, please retry in 2-4 hours'. If this happens, you'll have to try again later. Or use the following (and usually up to date) email archives:
If you don't find an answer to your question in the archives, then please send an email to the
smartmontools-support
mailing list. This is a moderated forum: you are not
required to subscribe to the list in order to post your question. You can ask all questions concerning the installation and use of smartmontools.
Or perhaps you want to become a developer, or suggest some new extensions?
