There was a first request one year and a half ago: http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2006-February/015319.html http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2006-March/015489.html Nobody volunteered yet to do the work. I've added your request on our wiki/Devices page, but don't hold your breath. The FSC Scylla is an old and rare chip, it's unlikely that anyone will volunteer to port it for free. > - Does the lm-sensors fscscy support monitoring the status of two > redundant power supplies (I have read the docs carefully but there seems > to be only temperatures and fan rpms, no PSU status support)? If not, is > it planned for the near future to support this? The Scylla chip (as all other hardware monitoring chips) has a number of sensor inputs (voltages, temperatures and fans). It has no idea what these signals correspond to nor where they do come from. This really depends on how the manufacturer wired the chip on the motherboard. So the general answer is that no hwmon driver specifically handles redundant PSUs because they don't have to. > - Is there any way to port lm-sensors to freebsd or is there an > affiliate *BSD project where the fscscy module can be adapted to with > not too much effort? lm-sensors is heavily based on procfs on Linux 2.4 and sysfs on Linux 2.6. As BSDs don't have anything like that as far as I know, there really isn't anything to port. I seem to remember that one of the BSDs has support for a limited number of popular hardware monitoring chips, but the implementation is completely different. Anyway, this is really a question you want to ask on a BSD list if you want a more accurate answer. -- Jean Delvare
