SMART disk analyser for Gnome


Hi. I'm running Gnome 2.30.2 on a Gentoo amd64 system. A few weeks ago, one of my hard disks started to go bad, and suddenly some kind of GUI version of the S.M.A.R.T. disk analyser popped up (not malware, honest). It was really cool because it showed me S.M.A.R.T. analysis results of each of the disks in my RAID1 array, and it showed me that there were some bad sectors on one disk.

Anyway, since I fixed my array, I haven't been able to figure out how to get that GUI window back so I can play around with it. There doesn't seem to be anything related in my Administration or Preferences menu, and there doesn't seem to be a "gnome-smart" or "gnome-disk-monitor" program accessible from the command line. I can install "smartctl" myself and use that, but how do I open up the GUI interface?

It may be part of the disk utility.
