SG-3100: SSD S.M.A.R.T. status not displayed in widget

yellowbrick · Feb 11, 2018, 7:32 PM

…and the drive tools in Diagnostics don't work either. Of course, smartctl does not work in the command line either.

Is there another command to try or is SMART status in the SG-3100?

(the ssd I manually installed does support smart and it is enabled as shown in camcontrol)

So is your drive even listed when you go to

Diagnostics > SMART Status

In the drop down?

smartmontools was disabled for ARM back in our early development for ARM (~Aug 2016). It may not have built at the time, or it may have been omitted because our first target platform was SG-1000 and it didn't have a disk it could be used with.

Either way, it builds now and makes sense for SG-3100 and other newer platforms that can have SSDs so we'll enable it again now, should be in builds soonish.

Thanks @jimp.

(FYI, the drive is listed in Diagnostics->SMART Status, but none of the options produce any output.)

I don't have an SSD in my 3100 but the smartctl binary is there now, so it should be OK on 2.4.3.

If you are comfortable running a snapshot, you can upgrade to a 2.4.3 snapshot now and test. If not, 2.4.3 should be out in a couple weeks.
