[feat]: Implement Data Drive Health Check Feature

[k0gen]

Prerequisites

• I have searched for existing issues that already suggest this feature.

Describe the Feature Request

I would like to request the implementation of a Data Drive Health Check feature in StartOS.
StartOS revolves around the convenient administration of personal servers through a web browser, and the addition of this feature would be a highly valuable enhancement to the platform.

Describe the Use Case

Currently, there is no built-in mechanism in StartOS to check the health status of data drives connected to the server. It would be immensely beneficial to have a feature that can monitor and provide information about the health and integrity of the data drives.

Describe Preferred Solution

I propose the addition of a Data Drive Health Check feature that can be accessed through the StartOS interface. This feature would allow users to perform regular health checks on their data drives and receive reports on their status.

Feature Requirements:

• Drive Scanning: The feature should provide the capability to scan the connected data drives for any potential issues, including bad sectors, data corruption, or impending failures.
• SMART Monitoring: Implement SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) monitoring for data drives. This will allow users to view important metrics such as temperature, read/write error rates, and overall health status.
• Alerts and Notifications: Enable the system to send notifications to users when any potential issues or abnormalities are detected during the health check. This will allow users to take proactive measures to address problems promptly.
• Scheduled Health Checks: Provide the option for users to schedule automated periodic health checks for their data drives. This will ensure continuous monitoring and timely detection of any deteriorating conditions.
• User-Friendly Interface: Design a user-friendly interface within StartOS that allows users to easily access and interpret the health check results for their data drives. Clear and concise information should be presented, allowing users to make informed decisions.

Describe Alternatives

Additionally, it would be beneficial if this feature could be made available not only through the web user interface but also through the command line (CLI). This would provide users with the flexibility to perform data drive health checks using their preferred method of interaction, whether through the web browser or the command line.

Anything else?

The addition of the Data Drive Health Check feature would bring several benefits to StartOS users:

1. Early Detection of Issues: Users will be able to identify potential data drive problems early on, allowing them to take appropriate actions to prevent data loss or hardware failures.
2. Improved Reliability: Regular health checks will enhance the overall reliability and performance of the data drives, ensuring optimal server operation.
3. Reduced Downtime: By monitoring drive health, users can proactively address issues before they become critical, reducing unexpected downtime and minimizing the impact on server operations.
4. Enhanced User Experience: The inclusion of this feature aligns with StartOS's goal of providing a comprehensive and user-friendly server administration experience, increasing user satisfaction and trust in the platform.

I believe that implementing the Data Drive Health Check feature will greatly enhance the functionality and reliability of StartOS.
