Package: hddtemp
Version: 0.3-beta13-17
Severity: wishlist

I told hdparm to shut down (hdparm -y) some of my rarely-used disk
drives. One of them supports temperature monitoring, and I would like
hddtemp to monitor it when it's awake, and not when it's sleeping. That
part work without problem.
The problem is that hddtemp is started after hdparm at boot, and it
forces the drives to spin up, to check if they support monitoring.
Here is my wish : please add a "smart user" switch in
/etc/default/hddtemp, which would take for granted that any drive listed
in $DISKS can actualy be monitored.
The only part which has to be "disabled" is the test in
/etc/init.d/hddtemp:47, because of the -w switch.

Thanks.
