AFAIK you can get HDD temp using sysutils/smartmontools on FreeBSD only. I never tried to do this for disks which are spin down. But why do you need check temperature of such disks? One time someone will ask you to minitor temperature for suspended server... IMHO it's not fully correct :) > Thanks for your help, > Lupe Christoph --=20 Sergey
