According to its homepage "And DO NOT FORGET the [last hddtemp.db.]" http://mirrors.linhub.com/savannah/hddtemp/hddtemp.db So I think hddtemp should have a network-cron use flag to update the database weekly as usbutils and pciutils. I have two hdd supported on the last hddtemp.db and not in the gentoo hddtemp.db (as they are supported on debian lenny and they are not in gentoo). Reproducible: Always
Added in -r4. Thanks for suggesting this :)
