Let me know if this is ok or if you have a better idea. Fair enough, do you have a copy of the code or patch so I can get it exactly as you want it? > I found that some ssd drives report a temperature of 0 degrees C. > > $ sudo hddtemp /dev/sdb > /dev/sdb: M4-CT256M4SSD2: 0°C > > # sensors > sd_10:0:0:0-scsi-10-0 > Adapter: SCSI adapter > temp1: +0.0°C (low = +0.0°C, high = +0.0°C) Tricky case. Should we assume no sane person is using their drive at the freeze point and simply bail out on 0 degrees? > At least some drives (eg WDC WD4001FAEX-00MJRA0) don't report low/high > temperatures. Yeah smartmontools says this too.

I designed it to just return 0/0 but I guess it is better to just not support the min/max attributes. As there may be many harddisks I need to set up the sensor attributes in the state instead so the code gets a bit complex but it's fine I guess. > Are min/max temperatures configurable ? AFAICT it's something the vendor just put in sometimes, so it is a property of the sensor inside the drive. Yours, Linus Walleij
