Hard drive SMART always disabled on cold boot

[twg]

I've got two Seagate ST3500320AS drives. I updated the fw on both drives to the latest due to a warning when attempting to preclear them. Now, whenever I cold boot, the drives will have SMART disabled. I can enable SMART using smartctl -a -s on /dev/sdX, but even though I read it's suppose to survive a cold boot, it doesn't. It doesn't seem to affect performance but it's just annoying that I can't see the drive temp via unMenu after a cold boot.

 

This is connected to either the supermicro AOC-SASLP controller or the SIL3134 controller. When connected to the MB SATA controller, the SMART is enabled by default.

 

Any suggestions on how to either have the SMART settings stay or turn it on automatically during a boot ? Create a simple script and put it into /boot/config/go ?

Create a simple script and put it into /boot/config/go ?

Yes, that would do it...  something like this:

 

for i in /dev/sd?

do

  smartctl -a -s on $i

done

The above loop will do them all.
