Hi Seth,
I'd appreciate it if you could copy the smartmontools mailing list.
Eduard Martinescu, who did the FreeBSD port, was thinking about doing a
3ware driver. He has a 3ware board to play with, but I don't know what
progress he's made.
Anyway, if you've identified the correct byte -- then this means that WD
has added a temperature Attribute to these drives.
A simple way to check this on a FreeBSD system is to use one of the
bootable linux CDs that has smartmontools on it. See the smartmontools
FAQ section for a list.
Cheers,
Bruce
