Drive Temperature

[marcel]

What for partition system i have to use to get the hd temperature feature working? I have two one terabyte drives. Any idea?

[bsk]

ext3 should work.

[cpg]

it depends on whether the drive supports it or not.

however, i think there is a bug where LVM is not detected appropriately in some cases and the drive is not queried in the right device.

could you file a bug with the output of your screen, the output of:

Code: Select all

df

and the output of

Code: Select all

mount

?

filesystem type does not matter as long as you don't use LVM

cpg: I think your best bet is to do something like the below code and then run hddtemp against the /dev/sd* devices. Linux currently allocates all disks as /dev/sd*, even if it's a UDMA drive.

Code: Select all

for i in `ls /dev/sd*[^0-9] | sort`; do hddtemp $i; done

on my system it gives me the following result - both Samsung drives are in 1 LVM:
/dev/sda: Maxtor 6E040L0: 51°C
/dev/sdb: SAMSUNG HD103UJ: 48°C
/dev/sdc: SAMSUNG HD753LJ: 41°C

my df -h output:

Code: Select all
