Is libatasmart a going concern? The functionality overlaps with smartmontools, and the development seems to have stalled [1]. I originally started using libatasmart few years ago because it had better support for USB bridges, i.e. it allowed reading SMART data from USB external enclosures, which smartctl couldn't do at the time. Recently, however, I ran into issues in skdump reading the SSD SMART attributes. I opened a bugzilla case [2], but there has been no traffic there. Is there a reason for two SMART utilities? I believe that the current smartctl functionality is a superset of libatasmart's. Are there capabilities in libatasmart that justify its separate existence?
