Hi All,

i don’t know if this is possible or not or even if i need to create a custom script to do this for me?

but i want to monitor the temperature of HDD's thats plugged into a RAID controller?

currently the hddtemp doesn’t detect the HDD :(

but i did get some progress with using the /dev/sg1 device instead of /dev/sda

root@proxmox2:/etc# hddtemp /dev/sg1 /dev/sg1: ST3500413AS: drive supported, but it doesn't have a temperature sensor.

and from what i can tell i can pull out information using the smartctl command

root@proxmox2:/etc# smartctl -d sat -a /dev/sg1 | grep -i temperature 190 Airflow_Temperature_Cel 0x0022 067 053 045 Old_age Always - 33 (Min/Max 22/43) 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 033 047 000 Old_age Always - 33 (0 15 0 0)

is the something I’m missing with the hddtemp? or does it require a custom script?

regards

Simon
