https://www.smartmontools.org/wiki/LiveCDs mentions ALT Linux Rescue carrying 6.4; it's 6.5 now (kernel is 4.5.3, x86_64 image size is 352M); thank you for the release!

PS: "Version" field of this bugreport form misses 6.5 as well right now.

The smartctl man page says:

Bit 1: Device open failed, device did not return an IDENTIFY DEVICE structure, 
or device is in a low-power mode (see ´-n´ option above).

Since version 5.37 we have option --nocheck=standby to monitor devices without disturbing (wake up) them in sleep / standby mode.

smartctl returning with exit status "2" is a normal condition when we call it with --nocheck=standby, but it's exit status != 0 gets interpreted as failure from 3rd party software.

see ​bugreport of Munin plugin hddtemp_smartctl

Is it possible to not set bit1 when smartctl is called with --nocheck=standby?
