parsec Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment
hypyke Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 There is no temperature reading when the drives are spun down. Was the green dot flashing next to the drives? Quote Link to comment
limetech Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 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? Quote Link to comment
aaron330i Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment
kraquen Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment
aaron330i Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment
