It's part of kernel-utils. It's one of the reasons why some people see 'drive_cmd' messages on their console if the HDD doesn't fully support the the S.M.A.R.T. options My solution was to download from sourceforge and install on top Yes that's bad - but I didn't want to delete kernel-utils coz I have no idea what irqbalance or or dmidecode do (among other things) -- -Cheers -Andrew MS ... if only he hadn't been hang gliding!
