So, I got a nice new SDD drive:
Code:

ian2 ~ # smartctl -a /dev/sdi
smartctl 7.4 2023-08-01 r5530 [x86_64-linux-6.12.5-gentoo] (local build)
Copyright (C) 2002-23, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org

=== START OF INFORMATION SECTION ===
Model Family:     Samsung based SSDs
Device Model:     Samsung SSD 870 EVO 2TB


When I tried to use hddtemp I got this:
Code:

ian2 ~ # hddtemp /dev/sdi
WARNING: Drive /dev/sdi doesn't seem to have a temperature sensor.
WARNING: This doesn't mean it hasn't got one.
WARNING: If you are sure it has one, please contact me (hddtemp@guzu.net).
WARNING: See --help, --debug and --drivebase options.
/dev/sdi: Samsung SSD 870 EVO 2TB:  no sensor


It is easily solved, just added the following line to /usr/share/hddtemp/hddtemp.db
Code:

"Samsung SSD 870 EVO"                  190 C "Samsung SSD 870 EVO Series"


As suggested in the message above, I sent off an email - which got bounced back to be with a non-delivery message:
Code:

54 5.7.1 : Recipient address rejected: User unknown in valid users table (in reply to RCPT TO command)


The web page linked from the package description also suggests that upstream have gone AWOL.

What to do? This is a very useful utility - I'm hoping it has been picked up somewhere else.
Thanks

Looks like the software forked, plus the Gentoo repo has no devs to maintain this software...

hmm. Double Whammy...

You might want to try lm_sensors for this instead. See https://docs.kernel.org/hwmon/drivetemp.html for help on the drivetemp module.

I already have a script that reports values from sensors to syslog (including drive temperatures), so a bit of fiddling gave me a drivetemp script that reports the temp for a single drive.
Uses a combination of sensors and lsscsi to get the drive devices.

Unexpected bonus - can be run as normal user - no super user required :-)

Conky's internal drive temperature process also uses hddtemp - so have to use ${exec myscript} for drive temps. Not a big deal. Also disable the hddtemp use flag for conky allows hddtemp to be removed.

Other alternative would be to grep the temp value out of smartctl output. That requires super user - but for a local script adding a sudo works.

Anyway - RIP hddtemp. It's been nice knowing you.
