No, I've posted snippets for users to customize in their own rc.local or
distro equivalent.  I vaguely recall posting a generic script for some
common cases, but I've personally converted to raid-rated drives
everywhere in the past couple years.

Somebody else will have to tackle this.

Not my call, but keep in mind that this will add a dependency on
smartmontools or whatever means is used to access/write to scterc.
