16. How to monitor the temperature of a disk?

+
+

By default, Psensor is using hddtemp to retrieve the temperature of +the disks.

+

If hddtemp is installed but no disk temperature is reported, check +that the daemon is running by using for example the command ps +-eaf|grep hddtemp. +It should output something like:

+
+
+
root      1433     1  0 May28 ?        00:00:21 /usr/sbin/hddtemp -d -l 127.0.0.1 -p 7634 -s | /dev/sdb
+
+

Since recent Ubuntu releases, installing the hddtemp package is not +enough, it is required to manually allow the hddtemp daemon. Edit the +file /etc/default/hddtemp and set RUN_DAEMON to "true".

+
+
+
# hddtemp network daemon switch. If set to true, hddtemp will listen
+# for incoming connections.
+RUN_DAEMON="true"
