NASLite Network Attached Storage

Feature request to have SMART attributes available for 3ware RAID controllers (for all NASLite-2 versions).

According to the smartctl doc you can access SMART attributes for hard drives attached to 3ware RAID controllers (taken from the smartctl man page) ...

----------
To look at ATA disks behind 3ware SCSI RAID controllers, use syntax such as:

smartctl -a -d 3ware,2 /dev/sda

smartctl -a -d 3ware,0 /dev/twe0

smartctl -a -d 3ware,1 /dev/twa0

where in the argument 3ware,N, the integer N is the disk number (3ware 'port') within the 3ware ATA RAID controller. The allowed values of N are from 0 to 15 inclusive. The first two forms, which refer to devices /dev/sda-z and /dev/twe0-15, may be used with 3ware series 6000, 7000, and 8000 series controllers that use the 3x-xxxx driver. The final form, which refers to devices /dev/twa0-15, must be used with 3ware 9000 series controllers, which use the 3w-9xxx driver.

I've tried this on a 3ware 7506-4LP RAID controller running on a Linux system with the following command and was able to access the SMART attributes for the first drive connected to the card.

smartctl --all --device 3ware,0 /dev/twe0

[Tony], is it reasonable to assume that this functionality can be implemented in NASLite-2? I understand that it's not going to benefit everyone, but it would be nice to see drive temperatures and other attributes for drives attached to a RAID controller.

Thanks,
Dave

NASlite-2 considers a RAID array to be a single volume and handles it as such. By design NASLite-2 does not track the disks in the actual array. Tracking disks parameters for those drives is therefore out of context.
