I don't have an account on /., and also feel incapable of actually working on this problem, but someone who has and can, could probably try to nag maxtorman about improving smartmontools to the point that they do the right thing, or try to get him to connect one to somebody else who can verify the issue and/or provide more technical details. If he can find a way to almost-anonymously post to /., he might be able to give some hints to the smartmontools gyus, too. Then, we only need them to integrate everything and make a new release. Personally, I'd say that it'd be best if Seagate themselves would grab the opportunity to partially make good on the issue, but I heavily doubt that they "understand", or want to understand, what's it about with FLOSS. Kind regards, --Toni++
