sein old hand Registered: 07/01/2005 Posts: 893 Loc: Sector ZZ9pZa	Hey guys, Is there a way of getting hdparm, hddtemp and ide-smart working on SATA drives in Linux? It would be good to check their integrity once in a while. TIA _________________________ Hussein

It would be good to check their integrity once in a while. TIA Yes, just apply the libata passthru patch. I'm (still!) bugging Jeff to push it upstream sooner than later. But in the meanwhile, it's standard in the (K)Ubunutu Hoary/Breezy kernels, as well as those of most other distros. Cheers (hdparm author)
