    Yes.

    [eagle:joe] $ ls /proc/ide/hda/smart_*
     /proc/ide/hda/smart_thresholds
     /proc/ide/hda/smart_values

    No.

    You can set that up yourself with a script that compares the smart_thresholds
    with the smart_values.

    The values and thresholds are vendor/model/moonphase-specific,
    so there's not really any way the kernel can make much sense out of them.
