Re: Recent issue with hddtemp.

Zero chance they back that out.   It is not a regression in the
kernel, a valid fix exposed bad code in user space.

The defect is in user space commands not checking what the kernel
returned.  The bug is not in the kernel.  The solution will be to fix
the user space programs and/or require the extra option to spin the
disk up.

And having a hdtemp command/smartctl command spin up a drive to ask
its temp is a power wasting command.  The drive stays spun up for
several minutes and uses around 5w more while it is spun up.  So one
cannot argue with it returning a "disk is sleeping" result.
