News

• Because Sourceforge removed the product Wikispace, our wiki has moved to this new Trac.

• We moved our CVS-Repository to Subversion and adjusted the ​download instructions accordingly. Christian Franke added a first feature which benefits from the change: If build from trunk, the first line of smartmontools output now reports the SVN revision date and number, e.g: smartctl 5.39 2009-07-16 r2838 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] (local build). So if you send smartctl output, we can now identify the exact revision :-)

• Our work in the field USB bridges goes on. Experimental support for ​Sunplus USB bridges is available now with new option -d usbsunplus. ​JMicron USB to (S)ATA bridges with option -d usbjmicron[,1]. Thanks to the vendors for handing over the necessary specs. We are very interested in your test results with the new device type and collect all feedbacks in our Wiki-Page on USB-Support. Get current version from ​SVN and tell us about your experiences on the ​smartmontools-support mailing list. Binaries for Windows are available ​here.

• Some newer Seagate/Maxtor disks risk a sudden death due to buggy firmware: 7200.11, ES.2, Diamondmax 22. See the ​Details, reported by Seagates customer support.

• Thanks to contributor Jordan Hargrave, smartmontools now have support for MegaRAID controllers. Get current version from ​SVN and use -d megaraid,N to inspect disk N behind the controller.
