It's After reading project's homepage it is clear that it was done in order for desktop integration. However I couldn't find any previous discussions about the best way to solve the problem on the net and it just seems like there wasn't even any attempt of involving smartmontools developers in the loop (I didn't look very carefully though). While this is not a lot of code it is a very sensitive area and bugs involving S.M.A.R.T. support (or firmware issues in general) have been always real hassle to debug and workaround/fix. Sharing low-level code base with smartmontools will be great as it is not Linux-only thing (which in this case helps a lot with additional testing and verification on other platforms) and actually has a people with a lot of needed ATA background/experience behind the project. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
