SmartLinux v1.3.0-beta.1 (pre-release)

Pre-release (beta). Meant for trying the new features; the stable release is 1.2.0. The in-app update notice never offers a pre-release.

New since 1.2.0

• RAID controllers (MegaRAID / Dell PERC): the physical disks behind the controller are listed and read (smartctl -d megaraid,N), virtual drives are shown as such, and SAS drives report temperature, power-on hours, grown defects and error counters.
• Server panel: identity of the machine (model, CPU, RAM, OS, BIOS, uptime) and its storage controllers, so you can see what SmartLinux recognized.
• Vendor tool mode (optional, read-only): if perccli/storcli is already installed, SmartLinux can show RAID volume state, which drives make up each volume, controller error counters and the battery. A strict whitelist of read-only commands; SmartLinux never installs anything.
• Seagate drives: packed raw values (read/seek errors, command timeouts) are decoded; Command_Timeout flags attention only from 10.
• Update notice understands pre-releases (alpha < beta < rc < final).

Install

• Ubuntu / Debian: sudo apt install ./smartlinux_1.3.0.beta.1_all.deb
• Arch: cd packaging/arch && makepkg -si
• Optional putty / putty-tools for legacy SSH devices.

Not yet in this beta: the diagnostic bundle export.
