February 2, 200719 yr Hi all Just installed the basicedition, and until now it looks great, but the temperature reading bugs me. . Main page shows: parity Maxtor 5A300J0/A81AP8DE * 292,970,128 - 0 43,130,643 0 disk1 SAMSUNG SP1614N/0735J1FW813719 * 156,290,872 156,253,256 39,083,336 2 0 disk2 SAMSUNG SP1614N/S016J10W809458 * 156,290,872 156,253,200 39,082,161 37,617 0 as you see, no temp reading But after a telnetsession, and three commands cat /proc/ide/hda/smart_values cat /proc/ide/hdc/smart_values cat /proc/ide/hdd/smart_values then the mainpage shows the temperature !!!, but after a reboot they are gone again. Is there a way to have these commands executed automatically at startup? /Rene
February 3, 200719 yr There is no temperature reading when the drives are spun down. Was the green dot flashing next to the drives?
February 6, 200719 yr Issuing a SMART commnand to a spun-down drive causes it to spin up. So if the drive is spun down we don't check it's temperature. Are you still seeing unexpected behavior?
March 2, 200719 yr When I reboot, I get the following with my hdparm -I commands: Enabled Supported: * READ BUFFER cmd * WRITE BUFFER cmd * Host Protected Area feature set * Look-ahead * Write cache * Power Management feature set Security Mode feature set SMART feature set * FLUSH CACHE EXT command * Mandatory FLUSH CACHE command * Device Configuration Overlay feature set * 48-bit Address feature set SET MAX security extension * DOWNLOAD MICROCODE cmd * General Purpose Logging feature set * SMART self-test * SMART error logging and my drives never show a temperature or seem to spin down. After issuing the cat /proc/ide/hda/smart_values command, hdparm -I now shows: Commands/features: Enabled Supported: * READ BUFFER cmd * WRITE BUFFER cmd * Host Protected Area feature set * Look-ahead * Write cache * Power Management feature set Security Mode feature set * SMART feature set * FLUSH CACHE EXT command * Mandatory FLUSH CACHE command * Device Configuration Overlay feature set * 48-bit Address feature set SET MAX security extension * DOWNLOAD MICROCODE cmd * General Purpose Logging feature set * SMART self-test * SMART error logging and I now start getting temp readings on the web page. I guess I am also confused as to why the SMART feature set is not enabled upon boot.
March 3, 200719 yr I have 4 drives in my array. None of them showed any temp readings.. I tried your trick and now 2 of them do show temp readings and 2 still don't.
March 3, 200719 yr I figured out why mine were not showing temp on bootup. I had to go into the mainboard bios and into each drive and turn on SMART Monitoring. Once I saved and rebooted, the temps showed up automatically.
