 |
|
Just thought I'd let those know who's interested.
In the linux 2.6.15 kernel, SMART support was added for SATA hard drives. This means we can get all kinds of information from the drive including the drive temperatures. This you can get with hddtemp. |

I've been waiting for this. Not that I really need it, but it gives me one more read-out to add to gkrellm. I admit it. I'm a plugin junkie.  |

| We run a lot of custom NAS boxes with 1-2 terabytes of drive storage on a disk array, so we're REALLY happy about this! |
