Update smartctl from 7.1 to 7.2

Hi there,

 

One of my drives seems to be affected by this reported bug in the smartmontools tracker for v7.1 of the tool.

https://www.smartmontools.org/ticket/1346

 

My drive is a ST2000NMCLAR2000 and just as reported doesn't show much SMART data and cannot run self tests.

The issue does not occur in 7.0 and is fixed in 7.2.

 

Is it possible to update the tool myself?

What are the odds smartctl could get updated to 7.2 in the next update of Unraid?

 

smartctl 7.1 is over 2 years old at this point.

 

Thanks

I haven't. I'm not keen on updating to a pre-release version on my main/only unraid server.

I did look through the change logs for rc3 and rc4 and didn't see any mention of the smartctl package being upgraded.

 

Someone who has the latest RC installed what does the following output for you?

smartctl --version

 

If I don't get any answers by the weekend I'll see if I can setup a little trial instance. If SMART isn't updated I guess submitting a feature request is my best bet?

7.2 is already as ChatNoir has said in 6.10rcs I have asked for it to be updated to 7.3 as it fixes a bug in SAS drives standby checking.
