Description Todd Merrill 2007-02-05 16:24:51 UTC

app-admin/hddtemp no longer reports hard drive temperatures on 2.6.20-series kernels due libata infrastructure changes which have revealed "fragile and wrong sense checks" within hddtemp itself.

Attached is a patch from upstream.  It applies to hddtemp-0.3_beta15, I'm not sure about the earlier versions.

Reproducible: Always
