# Save output to file
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/loayai/yet-another-hardware-info/master/yahi.sh | sudo bash -s -- -e -t -o hardware-report.txt

# Show help
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/loayai/yet-another-hardware-info/master/yahi.sh | bash -s -- -h

The script can run without sudo, but with limited functionality:

• Basic system information will be shown
• Disk health (S.M.A.R.T.) data will be unavailable
• Detailed RAM information will be unavailable
• RAID details will be limited

The script will display notices about missing information when run without sufficient permissions.

When using -e flag, additional information is displayed:

• Individual RAM module details (slot, size, type, speed, manufacturer, part number, serial)
• Motherboard information (manufacturer, model, version, serial number)
• Network interfaces with status and MAC addresses
• Disk serial numbers and firmware versions
• Power cycle counts for disks
• Total data written (TBW) for SSDs
• System load average

When using -t flag, performance benchmarks are run:

• RAM write speed test (1GB test)
• Disk I/O speed test for each disk (256MB test)
• Color-coded results (green/yellow/red based on performance)

Problem: Script shows "Permission denied" or "Requires sudo" messages.

Solution: Run the script with sudo:

sudo ./yahi.sh

Problem: Disk health information is not shown.

Solutions:

1. Install smartmontools: sudo apt install smartmontools (Debian/Ubuntu) or sudo dnf install smartmontools (RHEL/Fedora)
2. Run with sudo: sudo ./yahi.sh
3. For NVMe drives, install nvme-cli: sudo apt install nvme-cli

Problem: RAID arrays are not detected.

Solutions:

1. Install mdadm: sudo apt install mdadm or sudo dnf install mdadm
2. Run with sudo for detailed RAID information
3. The script only detects Linux software RAID (mdadm), not hardware RAID controllers

Problem: Only basic RAM size is shown, no details about modules.

Solutions:

1. Install dmidecode: sudo apt install dmidecode or sudo dnf install dmidecode
2. Run with sudo: sudo ./yahi.sh -e for extended RAM details

Problem: I/O benchmarks don't run or show errors.

Solutions:

1. Ensure you have write permissions on the disk mount points
2. Check available disk space (at least 300MB free required)
3. Some disks may not have writable mount points (e.g., unmounted disks)

• 0 - Success, no critical issues detected
• 2 - Critical hardware issues detected (e.g., disk failures, high temperatures, RAID degradation)

• System Information: Hostname, uptime, CPU details, architecture
• Memory Details: Total RAM, type (DDR3/DDR4/DDR5), speed, ECC support, individual RAM modules (extended mode)
• Storage Devices: List of all disks with size and type (HDD/SSD/NVMe)
• Disk Health Monitoring:
  • S.M.A.R.T. data for SATA/SAS drives
  • NVMe health status via nvme-cli
  • Temperature monitoring with critical alerts
  • Wear level tracking for SSDs
  • Sector error tracking for HDDs
  • Power-on hours and power cycles
• RAID Status: Linux software RAID (mdadm) array information and health
• GPU Information: VGA/3D controller detection
• Network Interfaces: Interface status and MAC addresses (extended mode)
• Performance Tests: I/O benchmarks for RAM and disks (test mode)
• Critical Alerts: Automatic detection and highlighting of hardware issues
• Color-coded Output: Terminal-friendly output with status indicators

• bash (most Linux distributions include this)
• sudo access (for full functionality)

The script will work without these, but some features will be limited:

• smartmontools - For S.M.A.R.T. disk health data
• dmidecode - For detailed RAM, motherboard, and hardware information
• mdadm - For RAID array status
• nvme-cli - For NVMe drive health (recommended for NVMe systems)
• lsblk, lscpu, lspci - Usually pre-installed on most Linux systems

Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install smartmontools dmidecode mdadm nvme-cli

RHEL/CentOS/Fedora:

sudo dnf install smartmontools dmidecode mdadm nvme-cli
# or for older systems:
sudo yum install smartmontools dmidecode mdadm nvme-cli

Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S smartmontools dmidecode mdadm nvme-cli

This script requires sudo access to read hardware information. Review the script before running if you download it from the internet. The script only reads information and does not modify system configuration.
