    I'm posting this here because it seems like the folks here know something about APM and SMART and DSM. Please forgive the query that's rather unrelated to your tool.

    I use a homegrown script to poll hard disk temperatures. Until DSM 6.0 I was invoking smartctl -l scttempsts /dev/sda and I'd get output like this:

    === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===
    SCT Status Version:                  2
    SCT Version (vendor specific):       256 (0x0100)
    SCT Support Level:                   1
    Device State:                        Active (0)
    Current Temperature:                 37 Celsius
    Power Cycle Min/Max Temperature:     22/42 Celsius
    Lifetime    Min/Max Temperature:     16/46 Celsius
    Lifetime    Average Temperature:     80 Celsius
    Under/Over Temperature Limit Count:  0/0
    

    I have a DS215j. After upgrading to DSM 6.0-7321, when I run smartctl -i /dev/sda I get this instead:

    SMART support is:     Unavailable - device lacks SMART capability.
    

    Rather strange, no? Any thoughts on how I might get a working version of the smartmon tools? I'm hoping I don't have to download dev tools and compile stuff on my NAS. Trying hard to treat it like an appliance, not like a server.
