I am running 7 drives but the temp is only showing on two.  Config is as follows:

 

Mobo Sata - 3 1tb WD Drives 1 1tb Hitachi Drive --- None showing temp

Promise Sata pci card - 3 1tb WD drives -- Two showing temp is software

Mobo ide - 1 320gb drive not showing temp.

 

Any thoughts?

As a quick follow up... the drive have been spun up and still no temp.

Need to see your syslog.

I no longer am getting temp for a few of my drives.  can you take a look at my syslog and let me know?

 

thanks

Sorry for butting in. I used smartctl to find out if SMART is enabled on every drive. It seemed that several drives had SMART switched off. So I had to issue:

 

smartctl -a -d ata -s on /dev/sdx

 

for these drives (look at the devices pages to find the correct device name). After that these drives reported temperature.

Glad I could help. I bought 12 identical brand-new drives - nearly 50% of them didn't report temperature. After issuing that command it's stable for several weeks now.
